AutoCAD® software customers have access to the software’s feature set and can extend the feature set through the loading of additional applications, such as ObjectARX®, .NET, Visual LISP®, and Visual Basic® add-ins. AutoCAD has an open architecture that enables developers to customize and extend the baseline functionality through several APIs. A product developed using AutoCAD® OEM software, on the other hand, can provide customers with a subset of the complete AutoCAD feature set, in addition to custom features created by the AutoCAD OEM developer. This strategy gives users only the features they need in a customized environment.
