AutoCAD Review
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
AutoCAD is one of the most used software for desigining and and preparing the civil Engineering design in my firm. As of AutoCAD I use it daily for projects. The pros of software are- It helped me prepare drawings on large scale with ease and in short period of time. the commands are easily acessible. Most of the basic drawings or say the first ever drawing of project to be prepare is done on AutoCAD. And the cons I would like to say is a large projects gets hang using hatches on large scale and aslo the 3D modelling in AutoCAD also lags some time with respective of quantity of project. the hatch lag is the most problem I face. I hope it changes soon
Pros
- Well I love the way its all commands work
- The Layers and properties style is very helpful for differentation
- The page setup and Layout styles plus the use of dynamic Blocks
Cons
- It need to work on lags caused due to Hatches
- Need to work on 3D modelling material renders and its animations
- Also for 3D modelling it has to prepare some easy shortcuts keys abd the command acces
Most Important Features
- Preparing 2D palns and Drafting projects
- Prepaing basic drawings projects for add Autodesk 3D softwares.
- Creating Detail Drawings
Return on Investment
- Well postively said more clients asks to work on AutoCAD for base start
- Now likely evry another one wants 3D model as its upragade for 2D so need to use other tha AutoCAD
- Well AutoCAD is the most majorily used one
