CAD stands for Computer Aided Design. There are multiple categories of CAD systems:
1. 2D CAD - a typical example is AutoCAD
2. 3D CAD - a typical example is SolidWorks
The classification of CAD systems can go into vertical specialization
1. Mechanical mainstream CAD - i.e. SolidWorks, Autodesk Inventor, SolidEdge
2. Electrical CAD - i.e. Cadence, Mentor
3. AEC - SketchUp, various Autodesk packages
In addition to that, there is a special class of highly specialized design systems that can be considered as CAD as well:
1. CATIA (from Dassault System)
2. NX (from Siemens PLM)
3. Creo-Parametric (former Pro-E, from PTC)
Also, there are lots of specialized systems that embed CAD functionality to provide 2D and 3D graphic.
