Can someone tell me what Vanilla AutoCAD is? I've noticed it coming up in posts but have no idea what it is.

Vanilla meaning PLAIN, not flavored or added to, like one of the Vertical Products.

 

Yes, I know Vanilla is a flavor, one of my favorites. :)

It is not a flavor. Look up the definition of "vanilla" and you see this included...

 

...having no special or extra features; ordinary or standard.

 

Now do you understand how the word is being used in reference to AutoCAD versus a vertical product built on top of AutoCAD?

The term is originally derived from ice-cream believe it or not.

 

'Plain' (or standard) ice cream is vanilla flavoured.

 

So plain (or standard) versions of software became known as the "vanilla version"
