Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

AutoCAD and AutoPLANT are instrumental in the design, construction, and completion of our company's work on varying levels. Everything from sales to finishing construction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Layouts
Fabrication
Design

Cons

Continuity with other programs.
Backwards compatibility.

Return on Investment

3d design: Checks interference with other trades.
P & ID: Solve engineering issues long before pipe or electrical is ever even drawn.

Alternatives Considered

Uni-Grafix, Catia and Solidworks

While these other products are useful, their complexity does not make it user friendly in my industry.

Other Software Used

Microsoft Project, Microsoft Office 2016

Again, we love it from a start to finish software. It allows us to do 3D design, p & id, submittal drawings right thru to as-builts. The software is easy to use for the less experienced and great for those with experience. Very well rounded.
