    I have been using AutoCAD for almost 30 years starting with R12. It is the best all around CAD software. I have done many different types of work within it. I have worked on many MEP projects, bridges and landfills through Civil 3D, and electrical substations. It's very easy to use and to learn. For the last 8 years I have been primarily working in the MEP field doing electrical design using both AutoCAD and Revit. We mostly work on apartment complexes, grocery stores and small shopping centers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    One thing that comes straight up to my mind when I think of Autocad is its extensive customizations and Real-time collaboration tools. Not to mention it's super powerful and also happens to be the industry standard! It also has a plethora of exclusive features which I don't really find in other software alternatives like the super smooth layering and traces option! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    This combination makes for an ultra-slow, ultra-glitchy interface that cannot handle what it's advertised to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    We are using Autocad for 2D drafting purposes first of all and after that, we are using the extension of it called Autocad Fabrication. We are solving construction-related problems with the help of this software. We are using it to convert the 2D floor plans of a building and its associated services like Plumbing, HVAC, and Fire protection to 3D models with the help of the Fabrication Database. The scope holds the use in construction help by generating real-time model and associated bill of materials for various building installations. It is helping greatly in reducing the construction time as well as cost by determining various future problems of the construction.

    We use AutoCAD for design [purposes] in [the] laser cutting industry. We design machine parts, covers, designer gates and windows, decorative items, etc. It is very handy software to do 2d and wireframe designing of objects and sheet metal parts that we can cut on a laser cutting machine. Autocad helps us to nest parts in metal sheet and give very efficient nesting work too.

    We do our construction sets on AutoCAD. We draw our plans, sections, elevations, and detailing all from the same file.

    Overall: AutoCAD LT is a generally involved programming for 2D Drafting and enumerating. I have been involving this throughout the previous 8 years. It is the lighter variant of the AutoCAD Programming, and hence, it's working, and execution is excessively smooth and useful, particularly the individuals who work on 2D work. the point of interaction is additionally too Easy to understand, spotless and simple to explore. AutoCAD LT is likewise an extremely strong item for keeping up with drawing accuracy, layer the board, cooperation and its similarity. the expense of the item is likewise significantly more reasonable than the full rendition of AutoCAD, so it is a financially savvy decision for private ventures and associations that fundamentally work on 2D drawings. Our specialized help and local area of AutoCAD clients is exceptionally wide so you can find a simple solution to any question.

    Overall: It is unlikely we will ever switch back to solidworks given the capabilities and price of AutoCAD in comparison.
