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.

Amongst all the great attributes of AutoCAD, I would choose versatility as the best attribute. AutoCAD can easily be adapted in various industries such as manufacturing, construction, architecture, et cetera

What do you dislike most about this product?

AutoCAD is relatively expensive especially for individual users and small businesses. The software is also not beginner-friendly because of its design and the number of tools

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If you are considering to purchase AutoCAD, here are a few things that you need to consider; If you are a mechanical engineer, electric engineer or an architecture, it is adversable to buy a product that is specific to your field of practice. Also, incase you are interested in a product that is more suited to parametric modeling, then consider Fusion 360 or Revit. If you are a beginer or a student, it is adversable to start with the free student version or a trial version.
