### "AutoCAD– Mission Critical Software for Landscape Architects"

December 9, 2024

5.0

AutoCAD is the industry standard software for our discipline, as an organisation we have invested in Autodesk products for over 20 years and simply couldn't work without it. AutoCAD gives us the ability to produce our plans and drawings to the required standard and enables us to conform to company standards easily and efficiently. We also utilise AutoCAD's scripting language to extend its functionality and further improve our workflows.

Pros

AutoCAD simply gets the job done for us, it is mission critical software for our organisation and comes equipped with all the tools we need.

Cons

AutoCAD is an outstanding software package, the only downside is that as a premium product it does come at a high price, however this can be paid by subscription to help spread the cost.

January 21, 2024

I have been using AutoCAD since 2006. I learned many things about design and drafting using AutoCAD. I worked for many industries, like storage systems and designing conveyors. Fabrication techniques using AutoCAD.

Pros

Very precise and accurate; easy to import; user-friendly; an all-time favorite tool for almost every industry involved in the manufacturing and design of equipment. Easy to learn, free for students (at least for one year).

Cons

3D geometry: AutoCAD only employs a small number of effects for 3D geometry.

### "AutoCAD: A Design Revolution Unleashed"

January 10, 2024

5.0

My journey with AutoCAD over the past two years has been nothing short of transformative. As a seasoned user navigating the intricacies of design, AutoCAD has become an indispensable companion, offering a multifaceted canvas for turning concepts into precision-crafted realities.

Pros

The accuracy of drawing tools, combined with the snap functionality, ensures that every line, arc, or dimension is precisely where it needs to be. AutoCAD's extensive library of blocks, symbols, and customizable templates has significantly streamlined my workflow.

Cons

While AutoCAD's extensive features contribute to its power, it can be overwhelming for new users. AutoCAD's performance may sometimes lag, impacting the overall user experience.

### "Very good for modeling"

July 17, 2024

4.0

Pros

I like its versatility, from simple sketches to more complex 3D design, it's quite easy to use if you have a bit of experience and it is continuously updated to provide users more tools and functionalities

Cons

I'm not totally happy with its cost and licensing plan, quite complex and not so intuitive sometimes. Although it is very suitable also for simple designs, in this case it may not be the quickest and easiest tool to used, may be more useful for complex project.

### "Efficient Way of Designing the Future"

August 13, 2023

5.0

Looking at the big picture, It is one of the best tools in 2D & 3D modelling. It is quite complex to learn in the beginning but it is worth to learn as a civil Engineer working in the industry.

Pros

Autocad includes every essential tool for a comprehensive design. Layering system of this software is invaluable for many reasons that is helps the designer to add every feature to the design without any complexity. Scaling part is also very much user friendly.When it comes to the rendering, It is pretty much attractive since it includes more materials, shadows, reflections and lighting effects. It is possible to keep tracking of number of designs at once to avoid conflicts of the design.

Cons

When it comes to very complex big designs, AutoCad needs a powerful ram to work smoothly. Rendering with AutoCad gives a better visualizationn but some additional softwares may be needed for high quality renderings.

### "Programma fondamentale per studenti e professionisti. "

February 20, 2024

4.0

Da studente di architettura che prima di iniziare il percorso di studi non lo aveva mai utilizzato, il primo impatto è stato piacevole. Con un po' di calma si riesce ad utilizzare abbastanza bene, anche se per utilizzarlo al meglio bisognerebbe seguire dei corsi appositi. Alcune volte capita che si blocchi o che "impazzisca" se il progetto è abbastanza pesante, nonostante abbia un computer con delle specifiche tecniche molto alte. Esperienza complessiva buona ma sicuramente migliorabile.

Pros

Le possibilità che offre Autocad sono molte, dal disegno in 2D fino a quello in 3D. La disposizione dei comandi sulla tendina superiore è ordinata, inoltre si possono richiamare anche tramite comandi da tastiera. Per un uso semplice su alcune cose è intuitivo, su altre meno. E' innegabile che le funzionalità che offre sono tante, per poterlo utilizzare nel migliore dei modi c'è bisogno di fare molta esperienza.

Cons

Se si è alle prime armi, i comandi un po' più complessi sono abbastanza difficili da trovare. Alcune volte capita che si blocchi o che lo "snap" non funzioni più, il che richiede un riavvio forzato che spesso può anche non risolvere il problema.

### "Autocad e gestione di un progetto"

April 1, 2024

5.0

Esperienza eccezionale dagli anni in cui lo utilizzavo all'università fino ad arrivare all'utilizzo specifico nel campo professionale, quindi applicato alla propria attività. Ad oggi dopo più di 18 anni di utilizzo non ho mai trovato dei limiti ma solo dei vantaggi.

Pros

Tutta la piattaforma grafica ovvero tutto lo spazio a 3 dimensioni che puoi sfruttare per dare sfogo alla creatività progettuale. Le funzioni base tipo offset, array, trim che permettono di accelerare tantissimo la fase di progettazione.

Cons

La gestione degli snap, dei cursori e puntatori.

Reason for choosing AutoCAD

Per la sua versatilità e compatibilità di utilizzo dei progetti anche in fase di condivisione.

### "Sin dalla scuola secondaria"

September 13, 2023

nella mia azienda sono la persona abilitata all'uso di AutoCAD per i progetti di planimetrie di emergenza. utilizzo il programma sin dalle scuole superiori in ambito di progettazione.

Pros

il prodotto da utilizzare è molto semplice, merito del fatto che AutoCAD è un programma fortemente utilizzato negli istituiti scolastici quindi sin da subito utilizzabile anche per giovanissimi; il programma si presta a progetti architettonici, industriali e di sicurezza antincendio proprio grazie alla sua versatilità

Cons

alcune cose di AutoCAD possono essere migliorate come ad esempio l'implementazione di una guida tutorial per osservare come eventuali strumenti possono essere utilizzati.

### "AutoCad é muito eficiente no que se propõe"

August 9, 2023

5.0

Em geral sempre tive uma boa experiência com o AutoCad. Nunca sequer precisei contatar o atendimento ao cliente, uma vez que vários doa problemas que tive ao longo dos anos puderam ser resolvidos com relativa facilidade.

Pros

A forma com que o programa permite maior controle sobre o desenho nos mínimos detalhes, além da liberdade queco peograma proporcina para a criação.

Cons

O que mais afeta o AutoCad atualmente é sua obsolescência em relação aos programas BIM, tendência atual no mercado, mesmo que ainda tenham sua parcela de relevância para projetos de menor porte.

Reason for choosing AutoCAD

Familiaridade com o produto desde minha formação na faculdade.
