#HISTORY OF AUTODESK FLAME SOFTWARE#

This brought as a result the 'evolutionary' growth of a large collection of minor software companies developing solutions for AutoCAD as the main platform (as a operating system one could say). The further versions and implementations (Release 2.1 introduced a new (for those days) concept in CAD and software industry: the open platform software, by means of the introduction of a built-in Lisp interpreter with a custom dialect of the Lisp Language: AutoLisp, customized to program built-in particular AutoCAD solutions.Р”Р‡urthermore, they also implemented a C subset of its own libraries and made it available to developers. It made a CAD tool, good enough to create detailed technical drawings, possible and affordable to many smaller design, engineering, and architecture companies. Thus, its power was its weakness: a relatively mediocre CAD application (due to Intel and MS-DOS limitations those days), available on a widespread platform.

The company's ultimate goal was to achieve a major software brand ( AutoCAD) running upon IBM's recently born PC platform. Initially AutoCAD was written for multiple operating systems, focusing on the CP/M architecture, but also made a branch for DOS and Unix. Other products include the Autodesk Subscription Program and Autodesk LocationLogic.Р”Р„utodesk featured AutoCAD (formerly named MicroCAD) at COMDEX in 1982. The principal product offerings from the Discreet Segment are 3ds max, flame, inferno and smoke. The Building Solutions Division develops and manages Autodesk Architectural Desktop and Autodesk Revit.The Infrastructure Solutions Division develops and manages Autodesk Map, Autodesk Land Desktop, Autodesk Civil3D and Autodesk MapGuide.

The Manufacturing Solutions Division develops and manages Autodesk Inventor Series and AutoCAD Mechanical.The Platform Technology Division develops and manages Autodesk's flagship product, AutoCAD, and AutoCAD LT.

The principal product offerings from the Design Solutions Segment are described below: The Design Solutions Segment is divided into five industry-specific business divisions: the Platform Technology Division (PTD), the Manufacturing Solutions Division (MSD), the Infrastructure Solutions Division (ISD), the Building Solutions Division (BSD) and Other, which includes Autodesk Collaboration Services and Autodesk Consulting. The Design Solutions Group (DSG) encompasses Autodesk's core competency of design technology applications while Discreet provides media and entertainment solutions. Autodesk is organized into two segments: the Design Solutions Group and Discreet.
