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.

My favoured computer aided design platform.

What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?
Autocad is amongst the most ideal computer aided design software for large scale productions , where virtualization is most needed. Virtualization provides the ability to walk through construction projects in a three dimensional view, even before actual construction or building begins.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I am an huge fan of the simulation capabilities of AutoCAD . I enjoy using it to create simulations and wireframe models , as it help me to automatically check the functionalities of models without spending a lot of time , to first create prototypes for my models.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Autocad is not really an illustration software and thus does not use volumetric modeling to create shapes. Rather, shapes can only be created on this software using curves , arcs, shape tools and straight lines. Therefore limiting my options when editing locations and lines.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is maybe the most popular computer aided design software and this is because of how intuitive it can be and the fact that it simplifies the process of working in 3D spaces.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Security Protects

"Excellent and trustworthy"
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?
It simplifies statistics and calculations. It allowed us to organize all construction plans. You can work in 3D. It offers several useful features, including those for handling huge projects. AutoCAD is unique.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Simple to create drawings in two dimensions. It is compatible with a significant portion of the software that is included in the Autodesk AEC Collection. It crashes quite seldom, which contributes to the software's reputation for being exceptionally dependable and stable.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Does not support metadata, but I'm guessing that if it did support metadata, that would make it a BIM program, which it is not. However, it works well for sketching in two dimensions. Aside from that, everything works well.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This beginner-friendly program helps with part modeling and 2D-to-3D geometry conversion. Use Navisworks and AutoCAD to track your task, and use BIM 360 for cloud coordination to streamline your process.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Trustworthy
- Unique Features
