AutoCAD is a professional 2D and 3D CAD program used to design and create digital assets. The software offers drafting and design tools for 2D geometry and 3D models with solids, meshes objects, or surfaces. With AutoCAD, users can automate adding blocks, creating schedules, and comparing drawings ensuring better efficiency. AutoCAD also has a full suite of advanced features for both 2D drafting and 3D modeling. It also offers web and mobile application access for multiple device accessibility, cloud-storage connectivity, and access to the Autodesk app store if you’re looking for more specific extensions.

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.
Exporting out of AutoCAD is difficult sometimes as well was undoing tasks.
I'm redesigning facility layouts in order to optimize the amount of equipment we can fit in a building to maximize our throughputs.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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 hand to display before and after improvements using Auto Cad and also easy to integrate it with power point
Some time take quite a long time to import it depending on the size of the file
Very hand to use it in process flow improvements and easy to integrate it with power points to show current progress
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I am able to design and implement possible changes for future development
Ease of use, UI Layout, Versatility, Customization
I cannot think of something that I dislike at this time.
Unsure
AutCAD is an excellent solution to any size construction design and management business. The mobile app works great too.
Can be a little slow on large scale projects when looking into details on plans.
AutoCAD is essential to our business and it's used daily. Its cross platform and mobile suite allow multiple users to work on the same project.
Ease of use and navigation. Menus and features easy to navigate
Pallet creation is timely and confusing
Use auto cad daily to provide install drawings to project managers across the world. Speed and overall understanding by everyone
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.
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.
We were mapping out floor plans for parking garages. I was a beginner with the software, but it was easy to work with!
The easy of use and the flexibility for several disciplines.
Memory intensive at time which can slow down a desktop.
Instead of contracting a designer to compose plans for our projects, we have began to develop and compose our design plans in house.
It is a good program for drawing, and improve the 3D view of promagra and using layers.
I have no comments against recently install it on my work PC and I really liked their new version.
improved reading and elaboration of plan in my work an excellent tool.
Support is great and everyone has something that they can use with autocad. Been using for 25 years an it just gets better
Cost, hard tp personalize and hard to write scripts, THe cost and complexity
Design of electrical systems efficiently. It works!
always Autocad have been common software for Architectural documentation, still somehow we have a dependency on it. New version will complement modeling software like Revit
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.
best busines is Architecture and anything that would require construction documentation.
Nice general, non-industry specific design product. Good for both 2D and 3D.
Not very intuitive as to system level settings vs. document level settings - for storing in a template file.
I teach people how to use the software, so I am readying future employees for business. AutoCAD is the most widely used software in our area.
ever evolving style of autocad without loosing the older stuff.
memory hog on video card if getting into anything 3d.
BIM with Autocad add on Fabrication.
you dream first, after that it is easy with autocad. Program interface user firendly
it is working slow on the old pc and it takes too uch updates
i am using mostly chat agent and it is enough for now
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.
Need special training as it is not a general purpose software which can be used by anybody.

Autodesk architecture , engineering & construction collection is good to get knowledge and practice.
Nothing. I dislike nothing. In autodesk architecture, engineering & construction collection there's nothing to dislike
It's very beneficial for me to learn AutoCAD.
