Likelihood to Recommend AutoCAD LT is suitable for engineers that uses DWG formats casually and don't rely on
AutoCAD as the main tool to issue drawings in the workflow.
AutoCAD LT is best suited for firms that do not use LISP functions in
AutoCAD and do not care about 3D modeling. Although
AutoCAD LT has other missing functions when compared to standard
AutoCAD , these features are of less importance and can't be noticed.
Read full review There is perfect integration between NX CAD and NX CAM modules with less data loss. Better graphical interface and simplified commands makes NX CAD a better software then others. The tool has scope to develop an algorithm for generating surfaces from the point data. Include of option to convert .STL to any CAD format will be helpful. The connectivity of splines laying in different planes can be improvised.
Read full review Pros The library feature for all areas is to me AutoCAD LT's extra strong point, it makes it easier to find information within the program itself. The fast solutions and precise development of drawings and projects is also another strong point. I use the floor plans, elevations, sections and the hydraulic designs to work with my students on physics projects. The software allows you to scale model and remodel as many times as you need, from simple to more complex designs Importing and exporting files is also very simple to perform making corrections and quick feedback to students easy. Read full review Seamless interaction across multiple departments. The software allows you to create a very high level of control and organization within your engineering staff. This reduces the companies mistakes and maximizes productivity. The software makes it very easy to track your product through every phase of the production cycle. Read full review Cons All individual lines are to be made a polyline to perform actions like Hatching, filling, etc which is very hectic. - Wish need not make it in the future. Read full review Keeping the colors of surfaces if volume bodies are linked Show and keep symbolic threads For me, I miss more information why a surface can't be deleted or a radius is not possible. And maybe a solution, how could it look like, if NX CAD adds a new surface. Read full review Likelihood to Renew possibility of integration and customization
Read full review Usability Siemens NX CAD has been has been simple in design & user interface. It is best among the competitors. It can develop heavy models & designs with very ease. It has Layers options for arranging multiple assemblies in the same file. It does not require heavy system investment & works fine on professional PCs
Read full review Support Rating NX CAD version is going out of support after only 12 months. Changes will not be implemented after 12 months from prodcution
Read full review Implementation Rating the manitenance period is too small for our implementation timeline
Read full review Alternatives Considered Although
AutoCAD LT is the lite software when compared to standard
AutoCAD , it does all the work when it comes to 2D modeling and issuing design drawings. When comparing it to
BricsCAD ,
AutoCAD LT shines, as it works without freezing and is usually more responsive than
BricsCAD , it just outclasses it.
Read full review NX CAD is very good for interoperability between different three dimensional modelling softwares, it can convert to .jt models, from native format such as .CATPart, .CATProduct, and ones from
SOLIDWORKS . Also it is integrated to Siemens
Teamcenter , which also enables other downstream workflow, such as
Tecnomatix Process Simulate. Other software packages would need more integration effort to make this possible
Read full review Return on Investment The impact is always positive in my case when I use AutoCAD LT, because I provide intelligent lessons with few resources The negative impact usually happens with professionals who don't like to innovate, study, or put a little more effort into their work. AutoCAD LT enables the enchantment at the end of the project by the public and at the beginning by the students that are delighted with so many tools Read full review The software itself is pretty expensive compared to other CAD-systems. Implementation is not out of the box, it requires a lot of consulting and iteration cycles. On the positive side is to mention the seamless of downstream functionalities, from product development to manufacturing and visualization, etc. Read full review ScreenShots
