What is AutoCAD?

AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 2D and 3D drafting, design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images, and converting raster images. AutoCAD enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.

What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?

Autocad is very easy to use in comparison with any other software . It uses both ribbon base interface and type a command option to quickly switch between different commands which seems to be a unique and very helpful feature to me.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I am able to prepare the drawings for all the components and assemblies very easily using Autocad including section layouts and general assembly drawings. It takes only few initials of a command in Autocad to use it quickly in drawings. It allows me to do nesting and prepare laser cutting program integrating with Omnicad for sheetmetal fabrication components.

What do you dislike most about this product?

I am using Autocad on daily basis. I like working in Autocad and donot find any issue using it for my work.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are into product design field then Autocad is a must use software to fulfill various design and drafting needs .

What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?

1) Skilled Manpower availability which is conversant with the software 2) Typically no software stands in close competition

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Vast range of features

What do you dislike most about this product?

1) AutoCAD is not great with 3D modelling, moreover whatever is there, it's difficult. Better software are available for 3D modeling 2) Customizing/Altering an Existing Design/Drawing takes efforts as high as making a new one 3) Takes lot of effort in learning & understanding. It should be made easier 4) Most of the things are dependent on the User. Software's own capabilities to Automate things are very limited

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

For 2D AutoCAD is great. GO ahead without any thoughts For 3D...do a thorough research
