Also listed in Architectural Rendering, Construction Scheduling, General-Purpose CAD, Other Construction

I appreciate Revit for its ability to set views and show schedule data. This is particularly helpful when determining pad elevations to prevent unnecessary soil purchases. I also really like using the topo solids commands to account for underground components, which lets me total the cubic yards needed for displacement. Revit makes it easier to track 3D models and count cast-in objects like electric boxes, conduits, and plumbing, which is essential for my role in MEPFP systems coordination and civil coordination for underground clashes.

Also listed in Additive Manufacturing, Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Simulation & CAE, General-Purpose CAD

Desigcenter Soild Edge for a part design, assemblies and drawings. Its synchronous technology is particularly valuable when a customer needs a fast change, because I can update the model directly instead of rebuilding everything from scratch. Creating 3D parts from sketches is also efficient and the option to reuse existing components saves me a significant amount of time. I also use Teamcenter and share to collaborate with others and to share design data across the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ZWCAD is a powerful, reliable, and DWG-compatible CAD solution that enables you to boost design efficiency without switching cost.
Also listed in Civil Engineering Design

This software surprised me with how much time it saves on everyday drafting work. Smart Mouse and Smart Select have cut down a lot of the repetitive clicking I used to do quick gestures for filtering and selecting objects save real time on daily drafting. Smart Voice is genuinely useful too; being able to attach a voice note directly to a drawing has made revision feedback with my team much clearer, with a lot less back-and-forth over email or chat. Smart Plotting makes batch printing painless when I have multiple sheets to send out, and IFC Import handles Revit data well, which matters since I work in an AEC environment.

Also listed in General-Purpose CAD, Simulation & CAE, CAD Viewers, Sketching, PCB Design

What I like most about SOLIDWORKS is how efficiently it supports the full mechanical design workflow, from early concept development through to manufacturing ready drawings. Its parametric modelling, assemblies, sheet metal, weldments, and drawing tools are especially valuable for product development.
For instance, while working on a conveyor safety product, I used SOLIDWORKS to redesign and optimize a Pull Cord Switch assembly. I could adjust component geometry, simplify the overall design, improve manufacturability, and then quickly update the related assembly and manufacturing drawings. This redesign delivered an approximate 20% cost reduction while still maintaining the required functionality.
In another product development project, SOLIDWORKS helped me create a more compact, screw-less design, resulting in around a 10% cost reduction. Being able to make changes quickly and have the associated drawings and assemblies update automatically reduced iteration time and improved design accuracy.
Overall, SOLIDWORKS has helped me increase design productivity, improve standardization, and move faster, while also reducing development and manufacturing costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also listed in Product Data Management (PDM), CAD Viewers, General-Purpose CAD, Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Simulation & CAE

Onshape is cloud-based, so it doesn’t rely on your computer’s processing power or storage capacity. That makes it easy to access and work on your designs without worrying about losing them if your computer fails, and it also means you don’t have to invest heavily in a high-end laptop just to use it effectively.
Because everything is online, you don’t have to carry a laptop everywhere. As long as you have your login details, you can sign in and access your designs from anywhere.
Since your designs aren’t tied to a specific computer, collaboration is straightforward. You can share a link, and others can open the design and make changes without needing to transfer files back and forth.
It’s also helpful that you can track design updates and return to earlier versions, which is especially useful during the prototype or concept stage. Releases can be traced clearly as well, and having all stakeholders sign off improves visibility and teamwork. It also helps catch minor or major required updates early and avoid costly mistakes before final sign-off.
The learning curve isn’t very steep, so onboarding takes less time. Overall, it saves a lot of time that would otherwise be spent learning, and that time can go toward other work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DraftSight lets professional CAD users, students and educators create, edit and view DWG files. DraftSight runs on Windows®, Mac® and Linux.
Also listed in CAD Viewers

I like most about DraftSight is that it feels familiar if you have already worked with traditional 2D CAD software. The interface is easy to understand, and I can create and edit DWG files without spending a lot of time learning the software. The basic drafting tools are straightforward, and file compatibility is good, which is important when working with customers, vendors, and existing drawings.
I also like that it is not unnecessarily complicated for regular 2D drafting work. For day-to-day drawing creation, modification, dimensioning, and documentation, it does the job without a steep learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
