Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD

AutoCad is currently being used across the company for designing of rooftop solar systems. It does not addresses any problem as such but is more a tool for implementation. AutoCAD help model 3D objects with colors, materials and/or textures applied to various surfaces making them vivid and easier for the user to visualize the end product. AutoCAD enables you to draw with fractional dimensions and also define precision to any number of decimal places, which is not possible to achieve in hand-drafted manual drawings, hence offering accuracy in all dimensions.
  • Accuracy on measurement
  • Working on 3D environments
  • Replicating satellite design to build 3D models
  • AutoCAD needs to be simplified
  • Software is too heavy and not meant for basic users
  • +VE impact as it allows you to model in 2D and replicate in 3D
  • -VE impact as AutoCAD is not a layman's tool to imagination and expression of design
  • solar mapper
AutoCAD for my business is too complex and Solar mapper solves the problem. AutoCAD added time to my business, reducing efficiency.
It is less appropriate for base users and more for detailed architectural designs and 3D modelling. Auto makes drawing simple and straight forward but certainly does not make it the most user friendly software out in the market for basic drawing.
