Well, I always thought that AutoCAD was the equivalent of Windows in the
CAD world. And I thought that for more professinal stuff ( i.e
designing BMW cars) businesses use more sophisticated products (which
again I always thought) run on Unix workstations.
It seems I was wrong though. AutoCAD is the only CAD product which I
have ever heard it's name (OK, aside from QCAD).
