The table below provides an overview of notable [[computer-aided design]] (CAD) software. It does not judge power, ease of use, or other user-experience aspects. The table does not include software that is still in development ([[Software release life cycle|beta]] software). For all-purpose 3D programs, see [[Comparison of 3D computer graphics software]]. CAD refers to a specific type of drawing and modelling [[software]] application that is used for creating [[design]]s and technical drawings. These can be 3D drawings or 2D drawings (like [[floor plan]]s).
