AutoCAD 2010 was a landmark release introducing the parametric drawing tools and PDF underlay support. Autodesk ended support in 2020. AutoCAD is the standard in engineering drawing, architecture, and manufacturing. In India, AutoCAD is a core skill for civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers. Many engineering colleges teach AutoCAD 2010 because it is the version most labs have licensed, and Autodesk's newer subscription pricing is prohibitive for students.
Why was it discontinued?
Autodesk ended support for AutoCAD 2010 in 2020. Autodesk now operates a subscription-only model.
