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.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?

It has capabilities to create accurate 2D and 3D design drawing, there is no other software which matches the features that autocad has, It has multiple file import and export options which helps to collaborate with other software also. AutoCAD can be easily integrated with other industry software because of its multi functionality and popularity. Also we can automate repetitive and some complex task by using it's feature Auto LISP which saves time and improves accuracy.

1) Multiple file import export options 2) Easy integration with other software 3) Auto Lisp feature 4) User friendly interface and easy Customization.

What do you dislike most about this product?

3D design capabilities it not upto the mark so multiple user prefer autocad only for 2D design and detailing. Lots of commands which are really hard to memorize.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It has almost all capabilities which we need for 2D layout creation so it's really worth it to purchase it
