What's the industry standard CAD software?
What's the photoshop of the CAD world?
I don't exactly know much about the topic but I'd say AutoCAD seeing how it's Autodesk's and pretty much the most popular option.
I might be wrong tho.

This, it depends on what you're doing.
If you're talking about drafting/building design then either it's AutoCAD, Revit or ArchiCAD.
Remember CAD just means Computer Aided Design (sometimes Computer Aided Drafting, or Drawing) so it really covers a broad meaning which goes from all kinds of engineering (structural, mechanical, industrial) to BIM (Building Information Modeling) to product design to 3D/virtual design, interior design, architectural/building design etc.
