What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?
AutoCAD is unparalleled, it is the basis of all engineering designs. The services it provides are difficult to obtain in similar applications. The learning curve with it is clear, and the shortcuts and layer system on the same drawing help in completing the design and displaying all its details efficiently.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
With AutoCAD, I always liked to find the result I was looking for. We complete all the design details on the same surface. Hiding or showing the layout is great and enables us to review the details we need. The drawing dimensions are accurate and enable me to enlarge or reduce parts easily. I liked that printing in different sizes is guaranteed with the same quality. The collaborative channels are effective and enable us to participate and enter our modifications easily. I liked the documentation, as all modifications are documented.
What do you dislike most about this product?
With AutoCAD, I never thought about the negatives. The learning curve may be difficult for beginners, but with the accumulation of experience, all steps become very smooth.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
To reach accurate designs that are clear with all their details, and to simplify implementation, you should use AutoCAD.
