"Best way to do facility layouts!"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

The basics of AutoCAD haven't changed, which is great for those of us who learned it early. And with these newer updates, the new capabilities continue to make the program even more amazing.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Exporting out of AutoCAD is difficult sometimes as well was undoing tasks.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm redesigning facility layouts in order to optimize the amount of equipment we can fit in a building to maximize our throughputs.

"Herramientas de fácil acceso para la elaboración de cartografia"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

Practicidad en la utilización de sus herramientas, ya que estas están desplegadas en el panel superior, en donde sólo con clickear ya puedes hacer uso de ellas lo que a su vez aumenta la rapidez en la elaboración del producto final.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Que no posee un sistema de coordenadas amplio. Solo cuenta con el sistema UTM para la georeferenciacion de cartografía. Lo que ocasiona que exista un tratamiento previo de la cartografia para poder utilizarla en el programa y asi lograr optimizar el trabajo.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

La elaboración de cartografía para la entrega de productos como estudios de impacto ambiental para la implantación de lineas de transmisión eléctrica.Lo practico que se ha vuelto el programa para la pronta ejecución de diversas cartografía, disminuye el tiempo de elaboración de un determinado mapa.

"Good for everything!"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is the classic tool that everyone uses and it's hard to work as a designer not knowing this program. Luckily, it's so easy to learn, and nothing in the program is really hard to work around. I was introduced to this program in school and have not stopped using it for 5 years now, as there is no architectural drawing tool that tops this one. The shortcut keys are so easy to memorize as they are very self-explanatory. I don't think I've forgotten how to do anything since I first learned it, as it's all so user friendly.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

I don't really like how this program runs on Macs - it's definitely a lot easier to use on a Windows. I can't even find some of the settings and tools I use regularly on Macs. Getting an outside company's CAD files can get a little tricky with the line weights when plotting and x-ref files, but I don't know how the programmer would work around that as that's probably something we as users need to work around.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

It makes being consistent within the company really easy. I think usually companies have a standard that they use for all projects with all the layers, line weights, settings, layouts/sheets, etc... This program makes sharing this and making a CLEAN drawing set really easy and no hassle.

"A CAD powerhouse!"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is the most flexible, powerful CAD tool I've ever used. It has been around long enough to be the "standard" against everything else is compared.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

It is so very complex, but that's to be expected for something with its longevity. The complexity can lead to a lot of confusion and frustration for a new user, but that's what the Help file and training is for, right?

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use AutoCAD as a platform for add-on tools my company makes. These are space planning tools that use AutoCAD's functions in addition to our own commands to help interior designers space plan with furniture.

"Very user friendly"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

I like that, compared to other similar products, autocad seems to make an effort to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to keeping a modern look and being intuitive to work with. The program always feels relatively quick, and solutions tend to be easy to find when issues do spring up every now and then.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

I dislike when there are difficult errors with linking ex-referenced files, although this doesn't happen too often. Also, linking mapping can be different using geographical points. I feel as though this could be much more intuitive.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I use the program for layout designs of project sites. It helps a lot when it comes to pulling together multiple design files to see what impacts they have on natural resources.

"Powerhouse for drafting and design"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

There isn't much that this product cannot do. Online connectivity and more tutorials than you can shake a stick at make this a great addition for any user.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

For someone not used to this type of software, it can be a bit much to grasp the initial functions, but once you get going, it's smooth.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to design and implement possible changes for future development

"Auto CAD Beginner"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

There are so many features of Auto CAD that I didn't come anywhere near of touching, but the little things I used were very helpful to get my job done.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

I wish there were options within the program to perform very basic functions. Say, if you are just creating a 2D parking garage floors plan like I was doing, only relevant functions would be available.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were mapping out floor plans for parking garages. I was a beginner with the software, but it was easy to work with!

"Compose plans for capital improvement projects"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

The easy of use and the flexibility for several disciplines.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Memory intensive at time which can slow down a desktop.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Instead of contracting a designer to compose plans for our projects, we have began to develop and compose our design plans in house.

Its not that I dont like it is just that in essence there are many other software that would accomplish the same in short time.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

best busines is Architecture and anything that would require construction documentation.

Not very intuitive as to system level settings vs. document level settings - for storing in a template file.

"AutoCAD is one of the best software available in the market for making 2D Drawing in any company"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD provides automated 2D Drawings which can be modifed copied and make new 2D drawing which are very useful and provide the best Visual interface drawing. In Olden days it was all hand made drawing which now are almost chnaged to AutoCAD or equivalent software. These drawings can be referred , changed or modifed in furture or in any phase of the project.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Need special training as it is not a general purpose software which can be used by anybody.
