### "Autocad 2d/3d"

November 30, 2024

5.0

Positiva al massimo Schemi, sketch, disegno 3d proiezioni tutto quello che mi serve per rendere i miei progetti molto interessanti nel 2d Per non parlare del render che dà la possibilità di tirare fuori la potenzialità del 3d per rendere VIVI più che mai i progetti

Pros

Per il mio ex lavoro da geometra è stato molto utile, semplice nel suo utilizzo una volta imparato con i vari passaggi realizzare progetti non è mai stato così semplice e veloce

Cons

Complessivamente nessuno, bisogna solo conoscere il software

Switched from

### "Engineering manager review for Autocad to use PCB layout (Used in previous organization)"

December 26, 2024

5.0

Overall if you want to make precision and efficiency for 2D drawings we should use only autocad, no other software will give these experience

Pros

Changes new version of May affect the previous version so its hard for user (Used in previous organization).

Cons

Changes in new version may affect the previous version so its hard to use sometime.

### "AutoCAD the dominant starter"

October 14, 2024

5.0

No matter what the other programs with advanced assistants, AutoCAD already dominates the CAD market. So you can easily meet this if you have true interests in CAD.

Pros

It's absolutely the basics in the manufacturing field I'm in. Anybody can draw with several functions(tools) and it's easy to understand how the program works.

Cons

It's quite difficult to find advanced functions without a teaching program such as a technical teaching academy where I started CAD with AutoCAD.

### "Increíble programa de diseños 2D y 3D"

November 12, 2024

5.0

Pros

Me encanta que puedo agilizar los procesos de trabajo, ya que AutoCAD me ofrece una gran variedad de herramientas para elaborar proyectos en 2D y 3D.

Cons

Creo que el único desafío es sobrepasar la curva de aprendizaje que puede ser medianamente complicada para un usuario sin experiencia. Pero sin duda para alguien que tiene los conocimientos necesarios AutoCAD es un aliado indispensable.

### "Useful program for drafting, not as useful for "smart" coordination of engineering trades"

November 5, 2024

5.0

The program is useful for the creation of 2D drawings, with the purpose of hard-lining sketches within the computer- basically hand-drafting in a digital format.

Pros

The ability to draw up plans quickly and accurately. Very useful for sketching work and overlaying with other construction trades for coordination.

Cons

The lack of "smart" abilities within the software. AutoCADrelies on the ability of the user to draw what they can imagine, in comparison to other software on the market which have more 3D capabilities to create whole building models for coordination with engineering consultants and architect.

Pros

Facilidade e ferramentas que me ajudam bastante a cada projeto em Engenharia Mecânica.

Cons

Ao passar dos anos o programa perdeu algumas funcionalidades nos atalhos, mas continua sendo bom.

### "Thank you AutoCAD"

November 4, 2024

5.0

I would say Autodesk company has done a great job in equipping this software with simple but powerful tools. I would be greatly happy if AutoDesk can somehow integrate this platform with a collaborative platform like Fusion 360.

Pros

I have been using AutoCAD since 2006 back when I was in college, and I have become a big fan of both 2D drawings and 3D design modelling. Its been a fun journey using AutoCAD as a hobby and later in my engineering career. One of the things I love the most is how the main interface is kept simple yet powerful. It makes creating 2D drawings a breeze.

Cons

3D modelling within AutoCAD is slightly messy. I would prefer to Use Fusion 360 for this job.

### "My Profession saved by AutoCad "

September 4, 2024

5.0

My overall experience with AutoCad is just superb. Making 2D and 3D drawing, corrections are easy to make, importing and exporting file, sharing it through e-mail, are all just easy and hassle-free.

Pros

The ease of use and to draw ideas quickly are what I like most about AutoCad. The feature of easily creating a 3D and shifting views from all angles are an additional advantage of this software.

Cons

What I like least about AutoCad is that your work can be corrupted by viruses, plus you really need a high-end laptop to experience a smooth work with AutoCad, and initial costs for computer systems for this software are really high.

### "I use 2D and 3D"

September 27, 2024

5.0

I no longer have to make manual drawings, now I do them all at once in AutoCAD, saving time and doing a job well done with realistic designs.

Pros

This design software has saved me time by being able to create 3D and 2D drawings in a very perfect way, which completely eliminated the need to make manual drawings to make them professionally, which also saves manufacturing costs.

Cons

Its use is not easy from the first day, you must have a lot of extensive knowledge to be able to learn how to use all its tools and although it has a user guide, many times I was unable to quickly learn how it works completely.

### "UN PROGRAMA DEL PASADO"

November 24, 2024

2.0

Hice un curso del ECYL para aprender a usarlo. Fue un curso extenso, con mucho contenido, como no lo utilicé nada más terminar el curso, perdí la continuidad y lo olvidé

Pros

Es muy profesional y su entorno de trabajo permite muchas posibilidades

Cons

Desde mi punto de vista, hoy está desfsado y hay programas más intuitivos y fáciles de manejar

September 21, 2024

4.0

It's very good and useful for design workers

Pros

It is easy to use, saves time in designs, has everything related to design, and is easy to display the project

### "Not your novice software."

September 8, 2024

4.0

I think AutoCAD is a very powerful tool. I use it to circuit and layout site plans for electrical equipment and feeders. I then import it into a Revit model for future design modifications, but otherwise it is a great program and critical to know how to use for engineering.

Pros

AutoCAD allows a lot of creative freedom for starting a project from scratch, or importing another CAD file, or just plain old pdf.

Cons

The controls for AutoCAD are so customizable and initially foreign from any other design program that it is very difficult to teach yourself exactly what you’re trying to accomplish. Example: keyboard shortcuts and select/deselect clicking.

### "Great Design tool!"

April 17, 2025

5.0

I used it for web design at my former position. It was hard using with no experience, but I was able to figure it out with a little instruction along with trial and error. Just glad I was not using it for a CNC machine.

Pros

Amazing program to do your CAD design work. Easier than some of the others out there. Can get tutorials if you need online or in youtube.

Cons

Complicated if you do not know what you are doing and have little instruction. It is not cheap!

Overall i had a positive experience using autocad for my university projects .it helped me build strong technical skills and improved my understanding of electrical designs

Pros

Very precise and professional.i like hpw it allows me to draw electrical diagrams with high accuracy and flexibility. the short cut commands save a lot of time and the layers feature help me organise my work perfectly

Cons

It takes time to learn,especially for beginners some tools are very not intuitive at first and it can be heavy on weak devices

### "AutoCAD:Best CAD Tool for 2D Drawings "

September 9, 2024

5.0

The overall experience is good with AutoCAD as with the presence of wide variety of tools, it involves the keyboard shortcut of every important tool which helps in great productivity.

Pros

AutoCAD provides a rich variety of features for creating 2D drawings which helps various teams like Electrical team, Hydraulic team, Mechanical Design team, etc.

Cons

AutoCAD doesn't have good 3D modeling capability as compared with Creo or SolidWorks. But it does have expceptinal drafting tools. Also, the complex interface makes it difficult to learn.
