2. ABOUT COMPANY Autodesk Autodesk, Inc.(NASDAQ: ADSK) is a
software and services company for the manufacturing,
infrastructure, building, media and entertainment, and wireless
data services fields. Autodesk was founded by John Walker and
twelve other co-founders in 1982. Over its history, it has had
various locations in Marin County, California, USA. It is currently
headquartered in San Rafael, California.
3. ABOUT SOFTWARE AutoCADis a CAD software application for 2D
and 3D design and drafting, developed and sold by Autodesk, Inc.
Initially released in late 1982, AutoCAD was one of the first CAD
programs to run on personal computers, and notably the IBM PC. Most
CAD software at the time ran on graphics terminals connected to
mainframe computers or mini-computers

19. Autodesk Inventor Associativity
Visualize and document native Autodesk Inventor models
Changes to the 3D model are automatically updated in the2D
drawings
Create native AutoCAD Mechanical DWG files
20. DISCOUNT AutoCAD is licensed at a significant discount over
commercial retail pricing to qualifying students and teachers,
ersion Dwith both a 14 month and perpetual license available. The
student version of AutoCAD is functionally identical to the full
commercial version, with one exception: DWG files created or edited
by a student version have an internal bit-flag set (the
"educational flag"). When such a DWG file is printed by any version
of AutoCAD (commercial or student), the output will include a plot
stamp / banner on all four sides. Objects created in the Student
Version cannot be used for commercial use. These Student Version
objects can and will 'infect' a commercial version DWG file if
imported.
