Despite its horrible name

June 28, 2010 by Fosco Lucarelli 1 Comment

Equally loved and hated, (and among the most pirated pieces of software ever), AutoCAD will soon be 30 yo.
The standard software for architecture and engineering offices just announced the on-going development of a Mac porting, eighteen years after the last Apple version was released.
Got to have a R12 release (1992) somewhere in my parents’ house… (pirated, i guess)

Here a (huge!) visual history: Autodesk history on Flickr.

Read this magazine celebrating the 25th in 2007.
