Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD
AutoCAD is a solid tool in our organization and has been for many years. Many of our customers require an AutoCAD DWG format for the As-Built drawings that we create. We mainly use it for creating blueprints of existing conditions and also new architectural designs.
- Ease of use for us given there is no learning curve after all these years.
- Flexibility to draw and represent what you see.
- Extensive customized block library for creating blueprints.
- There are many commands that are rarely or never used depending upon your industry. It does take some effort to create custom tool bars.
- Dimension styles can be tricky to learn, other programs like Revit are easier in my opinion.
- Navigating in 3D is difficult.
- AutoCAD LT is a reasonable investment for our field computers, at less than $50 per month, each seat pays for itself many times over.
- AutoCAD handles our 3D point cloud data with ease. Keeping our scanning equipment utilization up is key to building the business.
We have always used AutoCAD for 2D drafting. AutoCAD LT is great for working on 2D projects, especially in the field. We do need full AutoCAD on the workstations to interface with point cloud and support 3D modeling programs.
