### "Brand Ambassador of all 3D Modelling Software!"

November 20, 2024

5.0

Pros

I find AutoCAD a perfect tool for 2D drafting and 3D modelling, I like its preciseness in controls and the wide range of features it offers. It comes fully packed with resources and is worth the investment for professional projects. A solid choice if you’re serious about design!

Cons

Its interface might be a little bit tricky to learn as a beginner but when you learn the basics, everything is smooth like butter. Happy designing!

### "AutoCAD leads the way"

August 28, 2024

5.0

For 2D its the best and you cant beat. Costwise its up there but for a business this is the only way to go.

Pros

AutoCAD is the standard that we were trained on in School. For 2D work there is nothing better for layouts and designs not requiring 3D. They have refined the GUI over the years making repetitive tasks very quick and intuitive.

Cons

From Day 1 I wish they made improvements to the Dimensioning Style window. Yes it works and has lots of options, but it would be nice to have styles for different types of designs. Favourites etc.

### "Auto CAD: Efficiency and Accuracy"

July 9, 2024

3.0

I loved to design though some of the tools were very complex. I found it a bit costly software while that time as myself being a student. The parametric design is one of the advantages of this software which not only saves your time but it reduces the chances of errors.

Pros

Design the model in 2D and 3D with high level of accuracy.

Cons

The software interface is little more complex and confusing to the beginners.
