Autodesk is an American multinational software corporation that focuses on acquiring [3D Computer Aided Design| software for use in the architecture engineering construction manufacturing media and entertainment industries from independent developers and leveraging the maximum possible returns from those investments.The company was founded in 1982 by John Walker Autodesk became best known for AutoCAD but now develops a broad range of software for design engineering and entertainment as well as a line of software for consumers. Autodesk also provides digital media creation and management software for film and television visual effects color grading and editing as well as animation game development and design visualization. Autodesk media and entertainment software has been used to construct scenes in every Academy Award Best Visual Effects winner for the last 16 years.Autodesk's first notable product was AutoCAD a computer-aided design application designed to run on the systems known as 'microcomputers' at the time including those running the 8-bit CP/M operating system and two of the new 16-bit systems the Victor 9000 and the IBM Personal Computer (PC). This tool allowed users to create detailed technical drawings and was affordable to many smaller design engineering and architecture companies.Release 2.1 of AutoCAD released in 1986 included AutoLISP a built-in Lisp programming language interpreter initially based on XLISP. This opened the door for third party developers to extend AutoCAD's functionality to address a wide range of vertical markets strengthening AutoCAD's market penetration.Subsequent to AutoCAD Release 12 the company stopped supporting the Unix environment and the Apple Macintosh platform. After AutoCAD Release 14 first shipped in 1997 Autodesk discontinued development under MS-DOS and focused exclusively on Microsoft Windows.AutoCAD has grown to become the most widely used CAD program for 2D non-specialized applications.[28] The native file formats written by AutoCAD DXF and DWG are also widely used for CAD data interoperability.
