What is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is a software application for designing 2D/3D models and generating related documentation. AutoCAD allows users to draft and edit 2D and 3D models using more than 8 000 different architectural objects. Users can add text data, dimensions, reference lines, or tables th their projects. AutoCAD is used for designing mechanical elements, electrical installation, or MEP installations.

The primary purpose of our website is to provide the user with a list of software programs that support a particular file extension, as well as that help to convert them to another format. AutoCAD supports 106 different file extensions, that's why it was found in our database. The following tables provide information about the association of AutoCAD with file extensions. If the AutoCAD program can be used to convert the file format to another one, such information will also be provided.
What can I use this information for?
This information is especially useful when looking for a way to open a specific file. If you already have AutoCAD installed on your computer, you can check which file extensions it supports and look for the data you need in this specific format (or to what format you should convert the data so that you can open them in the AutoCAD).
I do not have a AutoCAD yet. Where should I get it?
By far the most safe way is to download AutoCAD directly from the developers's website. If you are going to download the AutoCAD from a website that offers a database of downloadable software, you have to reckon with the fact that when you install it on your computer, you will also install the unwanted extras. Please, pay special attention to this.
I cannot see the file extensions. What should I do?
File extensions are not normally displayed to users. To change this, go to Control Panel, select Appearance and Personalization and Folder Options. Next, select the View and find the option "Hide extensions for known file types". The option should be deselected (cleared) and confirmed with OK.
