Autodesk AutoCAD Original Education License for Windows and Mac, 1 or 3 Years

Fast Email Delivery, Official Guarantee and Free Technical Support

License in the Education version, complete with every feature, usable for personal purposes and for learning and training. It carries no watermark and no reference to the Education version in printed files.

Autodesk AutoCAD is the most widely used technical drawing program in the world, the one that produces the drawings which then go to a building site, a workshop or another technical office. It runs on Windows and macOS. The license is in the Education version and is linked to an Autodesk account, with no codes to enter.

Why choose Autodesk AutoCAD

The question that decides between AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT is a single one: do you build three-dimensional geometry, or do you only draw in plan? Anyone modelling a part, deriving sections from a solid or delivering a model to be 3D printed needs the full version, because in LT those commands are not there and cannot be added.

AutoCAD also brings the specialised toolsets, libraries of objects and ready commands for architecture, mechanical and electrical plant and mapping, which instead of drawing a door by hand insert it as an object with its own properties. They are available on Windows only. On top of that it is automated with AutoLISP, which on repetitive work changes the working day. Anyone drawing in two dimensions and using none of this will find AutoCAD LT in the catalogue.

What Autodesk AutoCAD is and what it is for

Autodesk AutoCAD is the Autodesk technical drawing program in its full version: precise 2D drafting, 3D modelling and the specialised toolsets for architecture, mechanical engineering, building services, electrical design and mapping.

Compared with AutoCAD LT, the full version adds everything beyond 2D: three-dimensional modelling, rendering, programming with .NET and VBA and the intelligent object libraries of the toolsets. It is the choice for anyone who does not stop at the two-dimensional sheet.

What the specialised toolsets are and when they change the working day

• Architecture
  Walls, doors and windows inserted as objects with their own properties, not drawn line by line. You move a wall and the door follows it, and the window schedule updates by itself.
• Mechanical
  A library of over seven hundred thousand standard components, screws, bearings and profiles, plus shaft and spring calculations. What used to be drawn by hand is picked from a catalogue.
• Electrical
  Wiring diagrams with automatic wire numbering, terminal strip generation and checking of wiring errors. The wiring reports come out of the drawing, not from a separate spreadsheet.
• MEP
  Mechanical, electrical and plumbing services with over ten thousand parametric objects, sized on the standards instead of on the drawing.
• Map 3D
  Cartographic data and coordinate systems inside the drawing, with a direct link to territorial databases.
• Plant 3D
  Process plants with isometrics and line lists generated from the 3D model, without redrawing them.
• Raster Design
  Scans of old paper drawings turned into editable vector geometry: it serves anyone inheriting archives of drawings on paper.
• Windows only
  The toolsets are not in the macOS version, and that is the main reason why whoever needs them stays on Windows even working in a Mac practice.
