### "my opinion for autocad"

July 25, 2024

5.0

it good for drawing for beginners. easy to use easy to learn

Pros

it is easy to use for 2d project. very simple for me.

Cons

if you are drawing multiple floor plan, and you want to change some common wall for all plan. you have to change all floor seperately. if i define the wall properties and change it on the background could be more useful.

### "Computer-aided design for Drafting but not 3D modelling"

November 19, 2024

Overall Autocad is fantastic for simple Line Drawings, however can be very time consuming for larger projects as one drawing does not correlate with one another.

Pros

Line Drawings looks great on Autocad compare to other Autodesk Softwares.

Cons

Line Drawings are independently drawn and interface is quite complicated compare to Revit.

### "From Legacy to Cutting-Edge: My AutoCAD Experience Since Release 13"

August 29, 2024

5.0

Since I began using AutoCAD with Release 13, I have observed its significant evolution and expansion in functionality. Over the years, the software has become a comprehensive tool with a broad range of features. I have utilized AutoCAD for various applications, including prototype design, tooling design, reverse engineering, and dimension analysis. Its extensive functionality and continuous improvements have made it a valuable asset in my work.

Pros

AutoCAD has significantly evolved since Release 13, as I have learned, becoming more user-friendly and efficient. Key improvements include a modernized interface, enhanced performance, new features like advanced 3D tools and cloud integration, and industry-specific toolsets. Its long-standing presence in the industry reflects its adaptability and continued relevance.

Cons

This revision makes it clear that student licenses are available, but not free licenses for those who are self-taught or involved in entrepreneurship.

### "Rich tools and features but with steep learning curve"

October 30, 2024

5.0

It's very flexible and does every design jobs perfectly. It is hard to remember every tools and there are always new techniques or tools that get added. It's fun at least to learn if you enjoy these type of things.

Pros

The amount of features and ability to design from wiring diagram to product design itself is amazing.

Cons

The steep learning curve. It can be very overwhelming for those that aren't familiar with CAD software or aren't well verse with technology.

AutoCAD is a powerful tool used in our organization for design and drafting. Despite it's complexity and cost, it offers immense value in creating detailed and precise designs. Overall, highly satisfactory products offering from Autodesk.

### "The most used modeling software in the industry"

June 15, 2024

5.0

As an advertising agency, We use AutoCAD mostly to create concepts of new products for our clients to study the feasibility of bringing them to the market. Generally, our clients perceive the designs to be on the accurate side. The process of managing the design from start to finish is highly streamlined in terms of assigning roles and quality control.

Pros

The most important feature for us using AutoCAD is the high precision and detailed approach to making concepts and models for potential products to pitch to our clients. Even though we don't use this software as close to its full potential, it helped us convey ideas into realistic 3D models instead of pitching them in the form of words.

Cons

I think the number one con for our particular use is the learning curve. We always needed 3rd party freelancers to assist with the projects. I think they can perhaps create a light version that requires less engineering knowledge and that has more features to assist with designs. Also, it can be hardware-demanding when dealing with rendering a complex design.

Sketchup was generally easier to use, but it lacked a lot in terms of precision.
