Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD
We currently use AutoCAD at my facility only. It is used to make PCB Mechanical drawings and Panel-forms, as well as some electrical meter items mostly in 2D. AutoCAD can be shared with many sub contractors and Assembly partner.
- Using DXF format permits endless sharing.
- Automatically dimension in imperial and metric units.
- Automate Q&A on drawings using custom attributes.
- LISP is hard to grasp.
- Needs some training as some features are not intuitive or easy to use.
- We can send drawings to sub-contractors in ASIA or elsewhere and it is easy to read and understand.
- GD&T (Geometric dimensioning & tolerancing) helps us with high end applications requiring standardized drafting.
AutoCAD was selected at least 20 years ago here and at that time, nothing was really available that matched what it offered.
