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 a major engineering and architectural 2D documentation software that helps the engineers on easy and quick production of excellent and accurate 2D drawings and very well detailed construction project documents. AutoCAD has the ability to import other CAD tools files and is easy on editing different project documents.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The easy drafting experience. Engineering 2D documentation capability. Easy implementation of the CAD tool

What do you dislike most about this product?

Ability to import large files. Large 3D design manipulation. Misbehaving especially when installed on a less specifications machine.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

AutoCAD is suitable for creating robust projects that will require interoperability between teams and that need to use common software and AutoCAD ends up being the most used in the market. When it is necessary to create a project that integrates 3D and material calculation, it becomes easier and less bureaucratic to use other software on the market.

Pros

Reliable
Efficient Service
Saves Time
