Pros

WOW, all that I can say is that probably this is the most important software to make blueprints in the world.
The AutoCAD is very good to be used for many industries like construction and industrial / manufacturing process as well, good for beginners and professional level as well.
I use this program all of the time because their Features are awesome powerful tool and easy for professional and beginners.

Pros

It made my career more interesting and it helped me in many ways. I recommend anyone in the field of electronics design or other related fields to use this awesome tool.
What I like most about the Altium 365 is how easy it is to use the software and upload my files to the server. It's great to be able to easily view and share my projects wherever I am.
Security while designing by rigorous and strong rule setting. Loads of functions that are useful and solid.

Cons

The biggest disadvantage of AutoCAD is that it comes with a lot of problems, which is to be expected from a tool that can do so much. It seems reasonable to me.
Sometimes the user interface becomes annoying, file can get very big and may crash the computer, drawings can get corrupt.
It is frustrating when in the AutoCAD updates over the years that the interface has changed so much that it makes it hard to adjust and find things.

Cons

The limitation to work only with the cloud. I would be grat if the option have a version with closed local network.
The pricing is somehow expensive, so sometimes it is hard to offer subscriptions.
I don't know the software well enough to have specific cons, but sometimes the BOM exporting process can be a bit weird and/or difficult.

Altium 365 - The Lord of EDA tools

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Because make easier and faster my PCB Designer job.

Cons

The point I think should be improved is the 2D CAD edition tools in PCB Editor. It should be more similar to nanoCAD, AutoCAD, or something like that.
