"Autocad is great for designing floorplans and event spaces"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

I like that Autocad is extremely accurate for designing massive event spaces. You can easily create blocks containing like items, modify and create unique items for easy modification and this software is the front runner for architecture, blueprints and other building design.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

I dislike looking at dark colors with bright neon layers after a while, but it makes it easier to see what you're doing. You have to really get used to working in the skeleton view and might be difficult to use if you're not able to visualize objects without seeing them whole.

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

I design floorplans, as well as booth layouts and put together parts and panels lists for our warehouse to pull.

"AutoCAD is so helpful tool"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

It gives you many tools to draw any kind of drawing on a sheet whether it's 2D or 3D dimensions. For industrial purpose it has helped me a lot. It is very versatile software distributed with various functions and features which helps you to recreate your drawing even in a more better way. AutoCAD is a very reputed software in industry of engineering and development which leads the our technology in a new way.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD offers so much of tools and some of them are complex to learn for a new user. Drawing made by AutoCAD affects when we have to make a very complex project and we have to gain very deep knowledge to do all that thing. AutoCAD requires much powerful platform to run on any system. It so much hangs on my windows 7 but I think it should work fine with windows 8.

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

Whenever it comes for drafting and drawing in engineering, I have never thought of any other software because AutoCAD is with me. It is very useful software which helps in drawing many complex drawing in very less time. Really this software is a boon to engineering field and I will recommend every user to go for AutoCAD first, then you will never ever think of any other software.

"AutoCAD is very helpful in civil engineering"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

This app has so many features like trim, fillet and so on which increases the speed of your work and it also has blank white and black sheet where you can work as per your need. AutoCAD is much powerful tool that has helped me to draw any kind of drawing of any kind of object.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

It takes so much time to open the software because it contains too much files. Android version is AutoCAD is not so developed but it's fine.

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

This is very user friendly app that I love to use it everyday. I will recommend everyone to use it. This app has saved my so much of time.

"Autocad"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

I like AUTOCAD because I can make plans for my telecommunications projects, it allows me to simulate the spaces available for the installation of new equipment. I also like it because in some projects I have to install pipes in the streets and this allows me to have a clear vision of how the project will be executed.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

I would like to use it at home since I only use it at work, but it is expensive to license the software for me.

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

I use it to make the blueprints of my projects and so when the technicians are going to install they already know in what place and in what space each equipment should be placed.

"Autocad "
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

I like that it have a large library with several design elements. I can design based on layers, so I can see all my work as a single set or separately. Plans can be exported very conveniently and printed to the scale I need. Its loading time is fast and I can export animated videos of my projects.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

The only thing I don't like is the long installation process.

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

I use it in my work to design plans for my clients' projects, also in the design of aircraft structural repair plans. I have also created animations of parts and components in 3D

"Awesome 2D and 3D design software"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

This is the best software for both mechanical and civil designs. Layout designing features, tools and all other code based options are the best in its area. The software is easy to use. You can easily get templates for layouts. In most cases, there are lots of libraries available for common items. Files can be shared and opened by other softwares (like solidworks and other engineering design softwares). They have student version that is free for use. So, people can actually learn while they are student.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

The software takes more time to load. It can be difficult to learn initially. Not enough functions and options like similar other softwares. Customization can be difficult sometimes. You would have to be very expert in knowing and using all the features available. Its not easy to find. In some cases, it has difficulty reading other versions or other software files. If the layers are more than a limit, the performance of the software decreases subsequently. The user interface has lots of options available but they are not easily accessible. Sometimes saving file in different version (like pdf, dwf, dxf etc) are difficult to do and sometimes can not be read in other softwares.

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

Engineering design, Layout design, Mechanical parts designing, Civil drafting and problem solving.

"Design and shape the world around you with AutoCAD software"
What do you like best about AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is a terrific and fast drafting program. It is a great drawing tool for our carpentry. I have been using AutoCAD for a long time and find it an excellent tool for creating construction documentation that could be used by all disciplines in the Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. AutoCAD's ease of use makes it stand out amongst other software. It's many features are made easy to access given their customizable palette and typable commands. I like its myriad of options to do the same task best of all.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

Nothing to dislike, however it has some limitations. It isn't cheap and it takes up a lot of storage space. license of the program has a high cost, it requires a computer that has a lot of memory capacity to use the autocad.

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

I love being able to create drawings with specific dimensions and details to present a clean plan for clients. We use it as a 2D and 3D drawing tool! We use it for our production tehnical drawings and also for 3D presentstion to our customers.
