Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD
Our production department works with AutoCAD on a daily basis. Our drawings mostly consist of projects pertaining to water, wastewater, land development projects, directly dealing with water plant expansions, wastewater treatment plant expansions, lift station, sub-division, and water sanitary sewer rehabilitation projects. AutoCAD gives us the ability to promote efficient CAD production in the delivery of multi-discipline drawings.
Pros
- It is the industry standard for civil engineering. Most of our clients and contractors know Civil3D and we are able to exchange dwg files with little to no difficulty.
- Labeling each block in a drawing is very easily managed, and easy to read.
- The GIS capabilities are excellent.
Cons
- Offer more free training. The program is so huge that it can be difficult to learn.
- Sometimes the cursor can be slow or jerky.
- Plotting can be buggy at times. Sometimes you have to convert the file to pdf just to print, and even then it may not work.
- Its cheaper than the Bentley equivalent.
- The are moving from perpetual licensing system to a subscription based license.
- Our AutoCAD suite reduces the amount of time needed for drafting and design on civil engineering projects.
AutoCAD is cheaper.
