Does any one know how to download autocad for free?
I would like to download autocad for free, I know I can get the student version but I will like to download the full version, does any one knows where to get?

As Mark noted getting AutoCAD or any other CAD program without paying the appropriate fees would be a violation of the company’s end user license agreement [1].
Even getting a Student version while being registered as a Student at a university, high school or trade school then using it for professional purposes or even personal use not related to your school work would be a violation.
There are CAD software packages out there that do have personal versions available. I believe that Solidworks, Pro-E, and Rhino CAD have them. These versions typically significant restrictions for their use including number of saves and the final purpose of the drawings. At one time the Solidworks Personal version water marked all drawings with statement that it was not to be used in commercial efforts.

Autodesk now has a Freeware 2D product that works in IE. This might help you in your application.

AutoDesk is a for-profit company that sells AutoCad. Therefore any ‘free’ copies you find are most likely in violation of the software license agreement and therefore illegal.
