AutoCAD Reviews - Page 4

AutoCAD is one of the best technical design software out there. It's very popular among architects but I actually make use of it as a Game Designer. AutoCAD has many tools making building layout designs very simple. The newer Trace tool allows me to add notes on possible iterations while not changing my design. The feature I love most of AutoCAD is their mobile app and web app. With AutoCAD Drive I am able to upload my work and can then work on it with my phone in any spare time I find or from remote locations.

AutoCAD is paid and can be expensive. They offer training courses which as also expensive. The software can also be confusing and difficult to learn how to work. It's very complex software with complex UI's.

AutoCAD provides powerful tools for creating and editing drawings. the features a well-designed and intuitive user interface. The ribbon interface, contextual menus, and customizable tool palettes provide easy access to commands and features, making it easier for users to navigate the software and find the tools they need. that product provides import and export functionalities for various file formats. i can import data from sources like point clouds, GIS data, or other CAD software into AutoCAD for further design integration. Similarly, i can export AutoCAD drawings to different formats for use in other software or for sharing purposes

While AutoCAD allows for some level of interface customization, users have expressed a desire for more flexibility in customizing toolbars, menus, and workspace layouts. Providing more options for personalized interface configurations could further enhance user productivity and workflow efficiency. that product as drawings and projects become more complex and larger in scale, users may encounter challenges related to file management, performance, and handling intricate design elements; If my business already follows established design standards or industry-specific protocols, integrating AutoCAD into my existing processes may be easier.

Il fatto che offra davvero un'ampia gamma di funzionalità sia per la parte 2D che 3D, anche se io ho utilizzato solo la 2D a scuola, perchè credo sia il punto di partenza di ogni progetto. Mi è anche piaciuto molto la personalizzazione che offre e per un software lavorativo di questo spessore è davvero importante poter lavorare nel modo in cui ci sentiamo più a nostro agio

Essendo un software lavorativo all'inizio risulta poco intuitivo, e ha bisogno di un po di tempo prima di mostrare il suo vero potenziale, anche l'installazione per studenti che usavo alle superiori ricordo che mi dava sempre problemi di accesso con l'account

The best thing about AutoCAD is without a doubt its simplicity, it's such an intuitive program that you can perfectly learn it and perfect it in a self-taught way. Until today, a design/construction professional should or should use AutoCAD: is the classic of classics.

The famous "Fatal Error" that make you lose hours of work, is always a headache.

Autocad is the base software for computer drawing, although there are other softwares based on BIM, the drawings are generally are required in dwg files. Autocad is a very versatile program, since as it is not oriented to a particular industry, it can be used for architecture, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, etc., it is like having a drawing board, it is a basic tool but Very powerful.

Although AutoCAD is very versatile software, this makes it very slow for large projects, where BIM-type software is preferable. Autocad is quite old software and it maintains certain functions and commands that today are no longer so useful, in more than 30 years these functions have been maintained that can be very comfortable for senior draftsmen, but they are a headache for new ones.

I use this software for drafting and every drawing need a draft. Another feature is to import file and this file get a picture and trace out that picture and drawing. I have seen it used for things like creating blueprints for buildings, bridges and computer chips to name a few. AutoCAD is 2D and 3D computer aided drafting software application and this makes it easy sometimes I will edit with pencil after doing a print.

I really dont have much bad to say about Autocad as the application has gotten better over time the only thing I would just say is the performance and compatibility with RAM and the memory you need free on your computer. Also, the updates from Autodesk are a little tedious and can slow down your performance but you then only need to downgrade your service packs and problem fixed

Autocad includes every essential tool for a comprehensive design. Layering system of this software is invaluable for many reasons that is helps the designer to add every feature to the design without any complexity. Scaling part is also very much user friendly.When it comes to the rendering, It is pretty much attractive since it includes more materials, shadows, reflections and lighting effects. It is possible to keep tracking of number of designs at once to avoid conflicts of the design.

When it comes to very complex big designs, AutoCad needs a powerful ram to work smoothly. Rendering with AutoCad gives a better visualizationn but some additional softwares may be needed for high quality renderings.

I like the most about AutoCAD is that the program is 100% customizable. End user can change the user interface and build custom apps using AutoLISP / Visual Lisp or .NET to aid in missing features/commands.

I like least about AutoCAD is that the end user has to consistently use the program otherwise it's very easy to forget all the many command functions provided.

Es un software que me ha permitido avanzar en mi carrera como arquitecto y constructor. El mismo me dio la posibilidad de realizar trabajos de una manera más eficiente, prolija, controlada y segura. Siempre he dibujado a mano, sobre todo, en cuestiones técnicas, pero AutoCAD, me dio la posibilidad de corregir grandes errores, sin tener que tirar todo un plano entero, a la basura.

La curva de aprendizaje es totalmente lenta, y se requieren horas de uso para aprender a trabajar en el. Es un programa con renombre y prestigio, para el cual, es necesario hacer capacitaciones, con el fin de aprender a utilizarlo. Otros software permiten realizar buenos trabajos, con acabados adecuados y prolijos, de forma más rápida, intuitiva y con una interfaz más amigable.

AutoCAD is considered the simplest and easiest application for use in the engineering field in all forms. It is possible to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional layouts in the fastest time and make any modification to them in the least time and with ease. And the application can be used with any of the other applications and linking between them simply and most importantly is providing a free version for students that can be downloaded. There are continuous updates to the application and more than one version to suit all requirements, so it is an uncomplicated program.

Some unexpected errors occur suddenly. There is a problem of not having all the fonts available when downloading the program and the need to download other fonts separately in order to open some layouts, especially for Arabic fonts. Sometimes the application is slow when you open more than one layout at the same time and it gets stuck.

I like Autocads architectural toolset. This toolset offers me all of the right add-ons to complete my design projects faster . Autocad's architectural toolset comes with an helpful library of architectural components, that includes multi-level blocks and enables the automatic generation of elevations , sections , ceiling grids etc when drafting my designs.

Although Autocad gives me access to the shared view feature, through which i am able to share specific views of diagrams with team mates . There is no provision for more than one user to work on a design at the same time. For me, this is a major drawback of the Autocad software , which maybe wasn't an issue even five years ago but is now very necessary in the present time.

It's in of the most adaptive software across manufacturing companies in automotive industry. It's integrated sub softwares and provision to use 3rd party handy tools make this more productive. It's Precise dimensions evaluation and ability to export towards CNC is a great feature.

It requires a very high resourceful computer while designing integrated parts. I would suggest to Autocad company to put some efforts to make this software a bit lighter to avoid Force restart or software hang. Although Autocad offers online rendering services but it cost you too much.

AutoCAD is a software of world reference in the design of projects for the area of civil and other engineering, allows the development of transport, urban and environmental projects in a simple and efficient way. With AutoCAD you can cover the necessary aspects for the works framed within projects of Civil Engineering and Topography. With this software I have been able to make proposals with any of the requirements required in my work. It brings many functions that facilitate the collection of data such as: area, volume, distance, among others.

I believe that this software has only one disadvantage for those who draw attention to the fact that when drawing you must be doing actions in a repetitive way. It will be action that you have to be willing to perform several times to complete the drawings. Now, another disadvantage is that the user does not know all the tools and does not reach to develop the whole program.

Di AutoCAD mi è piaciuto molto lavorare su un piano di evacuazione, ho lavorato su un progetto nuovo nel quale grazie al programma sono riuscito a ricreare alla perfezione la planimetria chiesta, ha moltissime funzionalità non alla portata di tutti, essendo un software molto professionale, è veramente ben fatto, ho visto lavorare a progetti veramente complessi con AutoCAD il lavoro svolto risulta molto semplice per un risultato ottimo!

Di AutoCAD ho avuto qualche problema risolto in poco tempo nel salvataggio delle immagini della planimetria, tutto sommato ho capito l'errore dove era, nelle tante funzioni che offre, non sono riuscito a trovare la sincronizzazione del mio progetto, se un software installato sono inserite delle planimetrie, sono correttamente funzionanti, però il problema sorge quando ci sono lavori in corso e devi modificare modificando nuovamente la planimetria e sarebbe molto semplice riuscire a completare in modo sincronizzato.

It's so easy to start working with AutoCAD (comparing with other CAD softwares, like TopSolid and NX). AutoCAD is so flexible, easily adaptable in many different environments (Zoller and Kelch preset machines, TDM Systems, etc.).

Compared to other CAD softwares, it fails on automation issues (for example, creating automatic views) and on time needed to rewiew the technical drawing. In many cases AutoCAD is expensive, we need to evaluate well where to use and save up license numbers.

The most important feature for us using AutoCAD is the high precision and detailed approach to making concepts and models for potential products to pitch to our clients. Even though we don't use this software as close to its full potential, it helped us convey ideas into realistic 3D models instead of pitching them in the form of words.

I think the number one con for our particular use is the learning curve. We always needed 3rd party freelancers to assist with the projects. I think they can perhaps create a light version that requires less engineering knowledge and that has more features to assist with designs. Also, it can be hardware-demanding when dealing with rendering a complex design.

I like the fact that the software is well integrated. It allows all the teams to collaborate and coordinate the project very efficiently. It reduces errors before the project is completed.

If your computer doesn't have good graphics capability, graphics will be displayed with different lines between drawings. 3D modeling is more delicate in this system than 2D modeling.

1/ Best drawing too which makes your life simpler by creating any plans / drawings / elevations etc no matter how complicated it is. 2/ Lets you work in the dimensions you prefer and are comfortable with 3/ You can draw 2D and 3D drawings with smooth transition 4/ Work in Layers so that you dont have to delete or redo anything if you dont want it at a particular time 5/ Save drawings in any format you like or change the year of Autocad file so that it opens and works fine in other persons system 6/ very user friendly and easy keyboard shortcuts which helps time and increases your efficiency to design. 7/ Available for all operating systems 8/ Free for Students and educators 9/ You can work with 20+ different languages on autocad 10/ Many free tutorials for beginners to learn and adapt

1/ Doesn't work very efficiently on MAC machines like it works on the windows machines 2/ Expensive license fees 3/ Need more enhancement on 3D models

Unlike some other software, AutoCAD does not need a Civil Engineering knowledge in designing something from AutoCAD. If you are trying a house plan, a rough sketch with basic dimensions and basic computer knowledge is enough to work with AutoCAD. Also built in function such as adding dimensions, different unit types, hatch patterns make it quite easier to create a drawing directly. And being able to use layer function is a huge support in designing large plans.

I would be happy if Autodesk increased the snapping support creating drawings. Also it's lacking some of the tools available in other software such as SketchUp.

The software is ideal for creating technical documentation (two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings). It's incredibly user-friendly, and most individuals pick it up in a few of days. It has a great collaboration feature to help with the review process, as well as the ability to keep your work in the cloud utilizing the Autodesk drive. With AutoCAD, you have access to a wide range of tools that may assist you in the development of any type of project, as well as a number of tools for visual design and presentation, as well as rendering.

The main drawback to AutoCAD is that it has a lot of challenges, but that's to be expected with a programme that can accomplish so much. I believe it is reasonable. It can also be costly, but you're paying for a lot of computational power. They do, however, provide excellent incentives for students and others (it's free), making CAD a very accessible subject to study.

The easiest program in two-dimensional planning in particular, it is a comprehensive, excellent and fast program and has features that help me complete my work in a short time and with high accuracy.

I wish it was more advanced in 3D graphics and rendering .

It is a software that is easy to link with the industry to create plans based on metrics of functionality of materials and costs of the same, it is possible to export the plans and make modifications online, we can also load data from previous plans to modify aspects related to construction materials or implement to modify some data.

We have no complaints with this software, we use it daily for our company 3D drawings, we make modifications online or directly from the program without the need for new administrative permissions.

AutoCad can be used easily to draft in many types of industry. As an architect this is my standard Cad software, I use AutoCad daily to make architectural projects, construction plans, reviews, make presentations, export drawings to other programs, etc. With its useful tools and commands as, layer, types of lines, styles, printing scales is quicker and easy to draft all my ideas and then fill them with all the information that the project require. I can handle all this information very organized and make corrections easily when I needed. AutoCad also offers preciseness which can be always used in the calculations of the project.

I use AutoCad for my Architecture projects, which is a field that requires a lot of graphic vision. Maybe AutoCad could advance in the field of aesthetic options, more hatch and patterns for example. Also, the hatch often gives me errors and it's a bit difficult to apply or tend to lag at times. It's not very good when it comes to just making 3D Rendering, I have to definitely use another program to do it. Another disadvantage is that AutoCad is being relegated by BIM programs specially Revit in which you can handle more information in the model and easily make modifications on the file.
