AutoCAD Overview
What is AutoCAD?

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 2D drawing module is the most amazing software I have ever used."
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

For AutoCAD 2D module, it is easy to learn, easy to use, a lot of shortcuts, and even easy to draw anything in our world in plain view. First of all, it is easy to format drawings with all kinds of lines for engineering use. Besides, the dimension function is straightforward and smooth to use. Moreover, the coordinate system in AUTOCAD is very convenient for importing survey data. Last but not least, you can program the AUTOCAD file to import into other software, such as ITASCA FLAC3D/ Surpac etc.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

AUTOCAD 3D module is not as good as other 3D software, such as 3DSMAX and UG. Just nothing to dislike, actually. I don't have any dislike for this software as a 10+ years user.

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

AUTOCAD can solve most of the engineer drawing problems. For me, an underground engineer, AUTOCAD is the best value for money comparing other software, such as Surpac, Deswik etc.

"AutoCad Software"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

Its a 2D Drafting software which enables users to draw a 2D sketch, a house plan, a construction site. Moreover it can also have the ability to design 3D Models. We can also print some layouts as pdf in order to show our designs to someone. we can also send these drawings within the software too. And AutoCad is BIM Software.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Though Autocad is the base software to learn 2D drafting but due to its too many commands one can easily forget which command is best to apply for a particular design or a sketch. Moreover a command contains a sub command too which makes it more difficult to learn.

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

One of the main advantage of this software is that we can draw to scale and editing these drawings are simple. For example last week I had a solar panel project for which I have to deliver the drawings as soon as possible and guess what i deliver at time but there are some mistakes which need to be correct and in no time I have managed to correct these drawings.

"une expérience professionnel très enrichissante"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

je l'utilise dans mon domaine plus essentiellenemt dans le dessin 2D et 3D mais j'ai une expérience dans plusieurs socèté sur le dessin de pipline ou meme le dessin des paroi de soutennement dans le tunnel.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

en gros j'ai trop de probleme avec lui , par contre j'utilise une verison gratuite car sa licence est vraiment chere

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

sur mon job actuelle il m'a boucoup aider sur la cartographie sur les dessin des route est les trancant . je l'ai utiliser dans le domaine BTP et sur ma ancienne expérience dans le dessin pipline

"AUTOCAD - HERE YOU GET THE BRAINS OF BASIC DESIGN."
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

It has strong 2D and 3D design sketch pad which also can be used isometrically. It has a great layout of the tools. The plot presentation option is also excellent.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Limited File Formats – As the leading CAD, it limits the number of file formats it can import or export. AutoCAD cannot freely edit lines and locations. Expensive start-up costs.

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

To design the electrical, mechanical, and layout for the installation of the new plant. To prepare mine plans and to interpret mine bench design & dump parameters.

"AutoCAD: Pros & Cons"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is the most widely used software for drafting in 2D. User interface is simple and easy to use. Most of the commands that are used are visible on ribbons so no need to search. This makes this software very easy to learn and use

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Many of the features are hidden and difficult to learn. 3D designing has to be done in different software. If the 3D can be integrated in the same software then it can be much better

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

AutoCAD has solved the problem of designing and drafting of complex mechanical components. AutoCAD has helped to simulate layouts, designing of building, etc...this has increased the productivity.

"AUTOCAD - Superb and User friendly tool for Designing"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

Versatility and detailed options to design any integrated floor plan, Single line diagrams, Schematics, or piping and instrumentation diagram. It can be used to create precise 2D and 3D drawings and models. The .dwg file format created by Autodesk provides the most efficient and accurate way to view and edit DWGs versus any CAD alternative. It can produce even large files with the same ease and accuracy. Commands like Grid Snap, Zoom and attach are used for accuracy in drawing.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

It create drawing with only help of lines it does not use volumetric models as we use in Building Information Modelling (BIM). In case of 3D geometry it uses limited effects.

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

It can produce even large files with the same ease and accuracy. Commands like Grid Snap, Zoom and attach are used for accuracy in drawing. To make any desired drawing consumes much time but with invent of AutoCAD making a drawing is not a time-consuming task. Also, we can generate as many copies of the same drawing. The same drawing can be used in other drawings which also helps in saving time.

"AutoCAD"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

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.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

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

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

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.
