Discontinued Products From time to time Autodesk discontinues some of the products in their portfolio. Some of Autodesk's "retired" products are listed here: - Volo View was a web-enabled review and markup tool from Autodesk for engineering data, including support for Autodesk’s DWG, DXF, and DWF formats. Volo View enabled design teams to communicate ideas and review designs without access to AutoCAD software. Autodesk discontinued sales of Volo View on May 1, 2005. The latest version of the software, Volo View 3, worked with the following file formats: AutoCAD 2004, DWG and DXF; Design Web Format (DWF 6); Autodesk Inventor 7 IPT, IAM, and IDW and raster files. The functionality of this product is largely replaced by Autodesk Design Review. Autodesk has also released a free product called DWG TrueView. This product enables users to view and plot AutoCAD DWG and DXF files, and to publish these same files to the DWF file format.
- Autodesk Animator Pro (DOS) and Autodesk Animator Studio (Windows) were products designed for cell based animation produced between the early to mid 1990s. At the time Autodesk was also advertising a Autodesk Media product similar in description to Macromedia's Director but this product was never released to the public.
- Cyberspace by Autodesk was an early real time 3d environment capable of producing basic phong shaded walkthroughs of DXF format models in "realtime". No textures were supported, and the system appeared to support a maximum DXF model size of around 35kb. A popular demo model of the Parthenon in Greece was shown around the US in a tour of the portable demo system - complete with virtual reality goggles. on the September 30th, 2004 Autodesk announced that QuickCAD would be discontinued after version 8.

Please see the discussion on the talk page. | Autodesk's first notable product was AutoCAD, a CAD application designed to run on the systems known as "microcomputers" at the time, including those running the 8-bit CP/M operating system and two of the new 16-bit systems, the Victor 9000 and the IBM Personal Computer (PC). This CAD tool allowed users to create detailed technical drawings, and was affordable to many smaller design, engineering, and architecture companies.

In Release 2.1 they introduced a new 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. Furthermore, they also implemented a C subset of its own libraries and made it available to developers. This brought as a result the "evolutionary" growth of a large collection of minor software companies developing solutions for AutoCAD as the main platform.
