AutoCAD Reviews & Product Details

autocad is the best engineering software. helps to save time and resources

autocad requires high performance PC which makes expensive to use

autocad solves engineering problems, particularly civil engineering designing.

Very user friendly, editing functions are phenominal.

Sometimes the pick points can be a bit jumpy and my prints won't end up where I intended for them to.

Compared to the other options on the market Auto CAD is very much streamlined and leagues easier to use.

Ease of use and intuitive GUI. This is the software that first utilized the 'ribbon'.

Features have been removed and spun into other projects over the years/decades.

General 2d draftwork, plan views, electronic schematics. Worth every second.

It is very useful for drafting. We can make 2D layout of plant, isometric, general arrangement drawing. It is also useful for architech drawing, civil, electrical layout.

Not much to say. For 3D it can be improve.

All kind of 2d layout. We are making on AutoCAD. Isometric drawing as well. Piping general arrangement, support sketch we generate on AutoCAD. It is output for our clients.

For 2D creation AutoCAD is best software in the market. It has lots of commands for use and having good graphics. To start a new command in AutoCAD it has lots of shortkey's .

The software has very wast as compaired to others because it has lots of tool bars to use. Regular user also not uses that much of commands.

To create 2d I have used this software, by using this software we can make more drawings in minimum time of period.

The best part of AutoCAD is that we can use it for 2D and 3D designing, and we can easily export it to various versions from lower to higher. We can save AutoCAD files on the cloud; therefore, we can access them everywhere and whenever we want, which reduces our work time.

The time-consuming command of Autocad is that "Scale"; most of the time, it doesn't work well; it takes time to set project according to given units and scale. We cannot make Parametric Family using Autocad.

We use Autocad for Sheet Making and editing. We can draft Floor plans and Blueprints easily using Autocad. Autocad gives you accurate and precise dimensions for drafting that will increase the Accuracy of the project.

Various tools and options which makes designing very easy

There is nothing in AutoCad that I dislike

I designed various parts of an automobile on AutoCad

Always my go to for CAD software. Familiar setup and if changes happen, can pick them up easily.

Can keep same glitches or issues over many releases.

Engineering solutions such as mechanical or parts/assemblies.

I like to draw single line diagram and 3D buildings

Hanging problem due to heavy file and in 3D

Single line diagram for solar plants

Easy to operate and understand. Also helpfull in 3D visualisation

Sometimes hanging problem if file size become heavy

I generally prepare SLD layouts and 3D models on Auto CAD

The ability to trace from image, exporting it to various formats

In 2017 version, there is no support to import from sketchup. But I hope now it is resolved.

Definitely it saves time, it helps to show what we imagine, this is a tool to show what comes in our imagination. For plan proposal or for having idea to fix objects in place, it helps a lot

I mainly use AutoCad for 2D purpose, because non of the software provides that, in that you can do what ever thinkg do you want Each thing you can make by its commands each type of your object you can make by its command like line ,polygone, polyline, explode etc. My 1st no. 2D software is Autocad and it will give update each year so it will provide latest technology available in the matket and it will be better for you day by day

I feel littlebit diacomfort at the point of using 3D because i think its some how its confusing only me for using commonds Its analysis section also confusing me because i am not aware about well so its discomfort for me

I am using for my wire cutting machine in that you can draw cutting path and it will synchronised with the software and you will get best output. You can take offset from that and you can draw desire part whichever you want Other purpose is i am using for my comapny's plan view because i am very use to it so its very good for that you can change each thing you can set up area allocation by move command and better visualisation without going anywhere.

Auto cad is a very good software for architectural and interior related work.it is very use full for drafting.and 3d view and isometric view if any object.

It is good but we can not draw the 3d view like 3d max.

I can draft any architectural planning, layout,isometric view ,3d view etc.

The vast availability of features. We can almost do anything we want. Useful especially for Civil engineers and Mechanical engineers in designing from nano level structure to a humangous structure. Can easily integrate with other tools like Matlab

Learning this tool would take a while as it is not easy to self explore about functionality and hidden features. This would definitely require training or youtube video learning sessions.

I have completed by undergraduate course using this tool. I have designed some rooms in a building using 3Dimensional graphic library

Auto CAD is a design software and is the most suitable in my work, since with it I can make a planos perfectly in a simple way without having to pay an architect, I have personally used it to make the plans of my own house, in the work has helped us to design parts that we need or some adjustment that we need for some process.

It is an excellent software with a very powerful interface, so if you have never used any software of this type, you must use a video tutorial to help you use it, since it is not easy to use, its cost is quite high but the result is worth it.

The best thing about this software is that I can manage large projects with a perfect and exact finish, in addition to working in 2D, now I can make 3D visualizations which is great, with its use in the cloud function I can do team work without problems, at work we had to model a Screw that uses the steam turbine, its purchase took a long time to arrive and we used Auto CAD to model in 3D, the internal, external diameter, size and diameter of the thread, so it was very easy and simple with it, we just took it to a lathe and ready in a short time we had the screw and turbine working.

AutoCAD can be considered as the most commercially successful Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software. This software is more popular in Civil and Mechanical engineering sectors which enable the professionals to use advanced designing and drafting technologies.

The software has a heavy price tag. Licenses are issued on an annually renewable basis. Also, the hardware requirement is also high-end, which contributes to increasing the startup cost.

Designing process in AutoCAD is possible both in 2D and 3D. Traditional designs give very little details of dimensional perspective. AutoCAD not only makes the design process run smoothly but also gives accurate designs.

Easy to use, UI is very good, tools are easy to use, every view is there and also you can draw in isometric plane as well. You can make 3ds and 2ds at the same time. Once you are fluent with the commands you will be fast.

It's more of a command base software so for the first time users it's a but difficult as they will have to remember those command before start the drawing.

I am helping my clients and my vendors with perfect technical drawings with specifications that helps my client to understand the product easily.

AutoCad has great features. Such as creating layers for floor plans. You can take a drawing and over lay your plan on top for what you need to get done on the floor plan. Also the 3d is really cool

AutoCad is really large program to load and take an engineering desktop or engineering laptop to load and to use.

layers for shop floor and office space

The ease of controlling and drafting with the easy-to-use interface

The software should be complemented with video help to assist new users

Drafting various objects for everyday usage and editing drawings

simplicity, ease of operation, tutorials. Its the basic software in designing any model. Excellent for 1st year students in engineering

it is an entry level software. Though being easy, you cant design everything. One cannot do all design work which is possible with CATIA or solidworks

I use autocad to solve design problems in aeroanutical / aerospace domain. Earlier, I have used this in mechanical component design
