Plugins, or extensions, or attachments, or add-ons – they are basically small software packages that do not function on their own, but as a part of a mother software; a part that you can attach and detach at will. They add new features to the software, enhancing its functionalities or add new ones completely. Third-party developers generally develop plugins, not the original software makers.
And in case of AutoCAD, there are plenty of third-party developers churning out plugins for AutoCAD. So, let us today go and see which are the top ten AutoCAD plugins you must have.

AVCAD is not actually just one plugin, it is a bunch of small plugins. This paid bundle of AutoCAD add-ins is great at creating interconnected block schematics with embedded engineering data. AVCAD adds the following different features to AutoCAD:
a.) Block schematic tools
