AutoCAD remains as one of the best CAD software I ever used. It has a long-standing history whereas it was a precursor to various CAD software like Inventor and Fusion. I like how I can create full-on technical 2D drawings and digital graphics for various things; art, assembly drawings and many site plans and detailed drawings! You can also customize the interface and even build automations alongside Autodesk Assistant/AI powered workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Windows version, unlike Fusion, remains our primary dependency if we still require specialized toolkits specific to disciplines such as Electrical, Architecture, and/or Civil 3D. My company utilizes these specialized toolkits. While macOS supports LISP and approximately 90% of the same standard features (excluding the specialized toolkits), you’ll still need to obtain the Windows version for these functionalities that ain't there. Additionally, you’ll need to purchase third-party add-ons or the IDE-built-in Visual LISP for these tasks. However, it’s possible to load universal AutoLISP routines in the Mac version that can replicate features from the add-ons or subversions. Furthermore, you’ll require higher specifications on your machine to render or perform 3D/large drawings, which is why I upgraded the RAM on my MacBook Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
