It is the software standard for drafting, although missing the functionality of other CAD programs

It is necessary to have an operating knowledge of AutoCAD, although as you progress throughout a career involve CAD design, it would be more prudent to learn other software to help supplement the limitations of AutoCAD.

We use AutoCAD to produce architectural drawing sets. The office utilizes AutoCAD, because the software is relatively easy to operate and less software training is required using Revit, although the office loses productivity gains in the long run by not using other software.

Pros

I like the interface with the color scheme, which is helpful in facilitating the drafting process. Compared to other drafting softwares, AutoCAD is faster in start-up and prolonged use for producing relatively less complex 2D drawings. Also the software allows you to produce very precise and large scale drawings with ease. Applying hatches is a strong feature that often causes crashes in other CAD software.

Cons

I dislike that the functionality to organize large drawing sets or to organize repetitive elements is very limited. 3D modeling is cumbersome in AutoCAD, and I would never use AutoCAD to model 3D elements. The block appears to be the only "smart" or programming element that helps individuals to manage repeatable elements in their drawings, and these are for the most part limited to 2D elements. Coordination of drawings is very time consuming, and is a largely manual task.

Architectural design program that allows to draw technically plans easily and comfortably.

Ideal tool for designers and future architects, at present the technology goes at the speed of light, leaves behind the squares and the pencil and start designing from the comfort of a computer and tablet.

In my career and in my work, it is a fundamental tool. In today's architecture there are already many software that offer advantages, but autoCAD is an indispensable tool. It gives me the possibility of showing and designing the plans of the houses to the clients in their presence, since it is a tool that I can have from the comfort of my computer.

Pros

Personally I like it because it is very complete, I can make planes in 2 dimensions and in 3 dimensions, you can draw from an animal to the whole structure of a house, everything that I can draw by hand, I can do it in autocad, as well as work designs in a matter of short time. The biggest advantage I see is that I can print them as many times as I want and at the scale I want, and still modify it if necessary. Its countless variety of tools gives me the possibility to give color and detail to my designs, creating very complete things in a professional and unique way.

Cons

This software seems to me to be very complete and practical but it seems that it could improve its 3D modeling tools, which is a little faster when installing the program, because if you do not have a good computer with a good processor, it gets slow .

When it comes to precision in 2D drawing, AutoCAD is perfect.

It is important to know the tool well to get professional results, in addition it requires knowledge on advanced technical drawing if what you want is to develop projects with precision to be brought to reality, know the concepts of scale, thickness of lines, layers, plants, Elevations, cuts is important to use the software with ease.

In the stage of production and development of furniture design, drawing 2d is an important face both for us to develop the 3d models and for the area of ​​production of prototypes, the use of the layout is essential for the presentations of each design model, its precision and measurement tools allow you to calculate the area and the amount of material that is required to produce the full-scale model

Pros

is a program with ample capacity of tools and precision for 2d drawing, projecting in 2 dimensions is essential for the development of designs of objects, furniture, mechanical parts and larger projects, has the possibility of working with different layers and a very well developed workspace, its commands are very efficient which allows the drawing of the different views of the project can be carried out in the same workspace without problems, the layout presentations are very professional to expose the results

Cons

in some aspects, their tools lack dynamism and flexibility, which sometimes results in the use of several commands to perform a task that could be much simpler, the 3d modeling version is not the most efficient on the market and is not the strongest this software.
