"Essential Tool for drafting"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task AutoCAD helped with:

Any design nowadays needs a tool, Autocad is one of the oldest and cheapest tools that helps engineers and draftsmen accomplishing that by using 2D &3D tools. AutoCad is being used in most projects if not all which indicated of its importance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD?

The variation of tools, the easiness of understanding how this software works and operates. In addition, it is flexible containing a lot of features that help in drafting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best software for drafting and CAD Design"

4.5/5

Describe the project or task AutoCAD helped with:

AutoCAD has helped me in drafting house plans and mechanical models in college as well as in my internship. AutoCAD has also helped me in making 3D models of houses with the best precision. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about AutoCAD?

The best features of AutoCAD that I like the most are the drawing tools needed in drafting. Tools like copy, array, and rotate help in doing the design in a short time. The other feature that I like is the views of a model or a drawing such that the model can be looked at from different directions. The orthogonal mode is beneficial while drawing floor plans and elevation of a house. The other feature that I like is the conversion of units which is too simple and doesn't require much skill. And the last feature that I like is the addition of components of house like tables, chairs, sofa and due to this feature we can add these components directly to a diagram without drawing it ourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about AutoCAD?

One thing i dislike about AutoCAD is the difficulty in making 3D models of house and mechanical models. There are many glitches while drawing a 3D model. My laptop gets laggy when the 3D version of AutoCAD is opened even after having sufficient hardware requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering AutoCAD:

I highly recommend AutoCAD to every professional involved in Civil Engineering industry. If someone has issues in drawing and handling drafting charts, then AutoCAD will be the best bet for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is AutoCAD solving and how is that benefiting you?

Autocad had solved many problems of mine, which I faced while I made drawings on charts and paper while in college and also in my internship. AutoCAD has many automated processes, which reduce the time taken to draw a floor plan or a model. When a drawing is made on paper, the paper gets damaged after a few months, and sometimes they get lost, but with AutoCAD, i can look at the diagrams made after many months without any issue. AutoCAD has also solved the problem of units in dimensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
