History of CAD



Autodesk was founded by sixteen people in April 1982 in California by initiative of John Walker in idea to create a CAD program for a price of $1000 to can run on PC. John Walker has been running Marinchip Systems for two years before. The first version of AutoCAD was based on a CAD program wrote in 1981 by Mike Riddle called MicroCAD, changed later in Interact.
BUT THIS COULD ONLY CREATE SIMPLE 2D OBJECTS

In March 2007 Autodesk has finally upgraded their software to the means of creating high quality 3D virtual images. It can now “create, edit, and develop design alternatives using realistic solids and surfaces in an updated design environment. Communicate your ideas with powerful sketch, shadow, and rendering tools, including intuitive walk-through animations.” So it was only around this time that CAD started having a huge role in the interior design industry.
