AutoCAD Reviews

.I like the ability to create very precise drawings that are very easily readable to others and that are the standard in the industry

The only downside to AutoCAD is the price

Autocad allows our engineers to create drawings that are very accurate thus causing way less mistakes on our plant floor

What I like best about AutoCAD is its precision and flexibility. It allows you to create highly accurate 2D and 3D designs, which is critical for engineering, architecture, and construction work. At the same time, it’s versatile—you can use it for everything from simple drawings to complex technical plans.

One drawback of AutoCAD is its steep learning curve for beginners, particularly when you start using the more advanced features. It can also be quite resource-intensive, depending on your system.

That said, with consistent practice and a proper setup, these challenges are manageable and can be handled effectively over time.

I find AutoCAD to be an invaluable drafting tool for creating detailed technical drawings, including architectural drawings, plans, sections, elevations, and technical drawings for MEP and electrical purposes.

AutoCAD allows me to create detailed technical drawings for my work and business. It's an invaluable drafting tool for architectural drawings, plans, sections, elevations, and technical drawings for MEP and electrical.

What I like best about AutoCAD is its precision and powerful tools for creating professional 2D and 3D designs, which makes engineering and drafting work much easier.

What I dislike about AutoCAD is that it can be expensive and sometimes requires a powerful computer to run smoothly. It also has a steep learning curve for beginners.

AutoCAD helps solve the problem of manual drafting and design errors by allowing accurate digital drawings.

.its best because, every new individual can easyly learn design and adopt it

Its user interface maybe difficult but other then

all is good

learning design, making design

I like using AutoCAD, especially for its co-ordination capabilities with all the consultants, because it's so widely used all over the world. The X-ref feature is really helpful as it allows me to change one drawing and have it update everywhere. I also think Dynamic Blocks are super easy to use; once you make one, you can use it easily for the project. Plus, printing quality drawings in any scale is a feature I appreciate. Overall, AutoCAD has saved me a lot of time over the 10 years I've been using it. But it expensive if you are an individual want to buy it. Almost the support from the customer service is always not to effective. But overall still best for architectural drawings. I never use any AI feature so I dont know.

Replacing the blocks like in Revit. I would love if I could simply replace blocks. Like in Revit you can choose wall type by the wall category drop down, but in CAD you don’t have that option.

AutoCAD saves me a lot of time. The X-ref feature updates changes across drawings, Dynamic Blocks simplify reuse, and I can easily print quality drawings in any scale.

quickly drawing up sketches to scale something in, importing sketches into a plan, the PDF to AutoCad feature

Lack of 3D abilities. Layers have also been an issue in the past with plotting incorrectly

being able to scale something into a floorpan quickly and accurately without guessing
