Software installation of very easy. > > **Cons**: Autodesk very good software launch.autocad available in many variant like Engeneering CAf , AutoCAD ELECTRIC STRICTURE CADetc > > Autodesk one mistake in AutoCAD 3 D molding interference is very basic.my suggest improve 3D modelling. ----- ### "Obsolete Choice" — 4.0/5 > **Abhijith** | *6 October 2024* | Civil Engineering | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: The Ideal Outdated ChoiceFor planning, drafting, and creative studios, AutoCAD LT is standard. It starts off with a moderate approach, but the variety of devices and flexibility quickly becomes overwhelming and exhilarating. AutoCAD is the standard tool used by our designing firm for interior plans and 11x17 standard-sized drawings for clients. We appreciate the easy-to-follow blueprint, excellent toolkit, low learning curve for necessary drafting, and default selections for strong introductions. > > **Cons**: Without major improvements, AutoCAD remains extremely costly and unduly complex, as demonstrated by Photoshop CS2 through CS6 and more recent versions. For more involved drafting tasks, it feels antiquated, cumbersome, and irritating. Its lack of solutions to expedite work on multi-page projects makes activities more challenging by requiring additional steps for specific tools. Certain tools are overly complicated. We probably won't use AutoCAD in the long run because of its exorbitant cost and lackluster usability; it's not getting any better as a design tool. > > AutoCAD is unquestionably costly and excessively confounded without huge updates, as seen from Photoshop CS2 to CS6 and more up to date programming. It feels obsolete, cumbersome, and disappointing for bigger drafting projects. It needs choices to accelerate work on multi-page projects, making undertakings more troublesome with additional means for specific apparatuses. A few instruments are superfluously mind boggling. Given its significant expense and stagnation in usability, we probably won't utilize AutoCAD long haul as it isn't developing into a superior plan device. ----- ### "AutoCAD: Powerful but Challenging" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 October 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how AutoCAD offers precision and flexibility for both 2D and 3D designs. It’s super versatile, making it useful across industries like architecture and engineering. The customization options are a big plus, letting users tailor workflows. And the wide file compatibility ensures smooth collaboration > > **Cons**: It has very complex functions to understand but once you get comfortable with it then there is no worry and it also requires a better system as it requires better specifications of laptop or pc . > > In the starting it felt really difficult to use but now when i knew it properly it became very easier as well as it is a very powerful tool. It is great for both 2D drafting and 3D modelling, though it can be a bit heavy on system resources. ----- ### "Engineering manager review for Autocad to use PCB layout (Used in previous organization)" — 5.0/5 > **saravanakumar** | *26 December 2024* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Changes new version of May affect the previous version so its hard for user (Used in previous organization). > > **Cons**: Changes in new version may affect the previous version so its hard to use sometime. > > Overall if you want to make precision and efficiency for 2D drawings we should use only autocad, no other software will give these experience ----- Page: 1 / 130\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.in/software/174021/autocad?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.in/software/174021/autocad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
