Overall Satisfaction with Assemble, from Autodesk

I used this AutoCAD Assemble program to assemble my pipe structure railing and some of the outer works of summers with very ease. But sometimes it feels leggy when there are many components on the same assembly drawing. I use this very extensively but after using solid works for the assembly I realise that AutoCAD assemble has many shortcomings compared to SOLIDWORKS.
  • Railing
  • Piping structure
  • Machine structure
  • Components handling
  • Ram management
  • Assembly parameters
  • Costing is not accurate.

Would you buy Assemble, from Autodesk again?

No

This program is well suited for AutoCAD Inventor and other AutoCAD products as well. If you are using any other software besides AutoCAD and Autodesk then you will have a hard time integrating all the components and building the assembly out of other software-created components because it will lose some details and some commands may cause an error.
