AutoCAD is the ideal design tool for planes and objects for engineers and architects.
Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD
In the company, AutoCAD is used by the engineering department, which among many other functions is responsible for designing the plans required for the construction of our infrastructure.
The problems that the company solves through the use of AutoCAD is the process of planning the construction and remodeling required by the company for its installed capacity potential.
[We] Make designs from the beginning for decision making.
Pros
- It is an ideal program for the design of urbanism, works aimed at improving the landscape, remodeling projects or construction.
- It is a complex and quality software that can design maps and plans in multiple scales, angles, colors, and shapes.
- I like it because it allows georeferencing and analysis of complex databases for decision making.
- It offers excellent three-dimensional object design tools that allow you to project innovative and creative ideas.
Cons
- Consider that in general AutoCAD must make an effort to facilitate the use of the system because it is very complex and difficult. It takes many hours for men to practice or go to an AutoCAD course to correctly handle the tool.
- Consider that AutoCAD is the most used design system by engineering and architecture professionals but the most difficult to use.
- If the owners of the program did a usability study aimed at improving the use of the system, I am convinced that it would be easier to apply the tools for the job.
- Positive impacts - the fact that it is a precise program in the design of the plans brings great opportunities to the company, due to the quality of its plans.
- Negative impact - at first AutoCAD was used to design any product or object and result for the company (because we devoted many hours of work in preliminary projects) that at times the client or decision makers rejected it. Therefore, the decision was made to use AutoCAD only for approved and large projects, while other simpler programs are used to present project ideas.
AutoCAD is a complete program in each of the design and presentation tools required in engineering and architecture projects. Simple design can be made to complex without any problem. In the case of the SketchUp program, it does not have the precision of AutoCAD, it is used for the design of small spaces but not urbanizations or large projects. SketchUp is used for the design of project ideas, or in the process of construction by the client.
