Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD

We use it to edit and clean up drawings we get from customers that draw projects in Revit. We also use it to draw 2D plans for walk-in customers that want a shed or a house that doesn't get too complicated. It is easier to train new employees on then some other software we have been using.
  • Easy to clean up drawings of unwanted layers.
  • Great how to videos when you have a question and hover over an icon.
  • Easy to use and learn.
  • Last but not least, you can get map data to scale when you want to create a site plan.
  • Sometimes I would like to delete certain layers that have things drawn on it and it will not let me do that. It would delete the layer and entities on it. A huge thumbs down on that.
  • It has allowed us to import the flat drawings a lot easier into our secondary drawing program. Making our time better spent.
AutoCAD is a lot more powerful then NanoCAD. It is easier to navigate and more powerful in some situations. One thing I like is that NanoCAD allows you to delete layers if there is something drawn on them.

Do you think AutoCAD delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with AutoCAD's feature set?

Yes

Did AutoCAD live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of AutoCAD go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy AutoCAD again?

Yes

It is easy to learn to use and navigate. It is a very powerful 2d drawing program to lay in flat work. A feature I would like is be able to delete layers that have stuff drawn on them. If you are stuck on how to do something, hover over the icon and a short how to video will start playing.
