Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD

In my workflow the use of AutoCAD is extremely important, not only on the beginning of every project but also on the development of the following steps. At this point, the resourcefull library of commands available on AutoCAD makes the drawing process much easier and intuitive in comparison to other drawing software. This one of the main reasons why I have always choose to work with AutoCAD on the development of my projects.
  • simple but very well organised interface for users
  • very intuitive comands that make the workflow with the software very easy, also for starter users without too many experience
  • the software responds very well to large and hard to read files, without slowing down or interrupting the workflow due to reading erros that normaly disrupt users and make the experience with the software more stressfull
  • improvements on the 3D modelling area, making the interface easier to deal with
  • an easier possibility to change the language settings of the software
  • improving the array command, making it more easier to handle with, considering that it often causes unespected erros to the software, interrupting the constant worflow
  • vast library of commands, making the workflow very easy
  • well organized layer structure, making the drawings more organized and clean
  • very easy and intuitive process of plotting drawings
  • improvement of the drawing qualities
  • Better workflow with a software that delivers everything that is espected to make work easier
  • besides being an expensive software, the many benefits that improve the workbasis on a general way make the cost worth it
for the developing of 2d drawings AutoCAD is more suitable than other software due to its very easy and understandable user interface. besides that, due to the orientation of the software to 2d drawings, the library of commands is better structured and organized, making the work with software much easier and faster to understand for those who are just getting started with the programm

Yes

Would you buy AutoCAD again?

Yes

when it comes to almost all drawing components of an architectural or engineering project, AutoCAD is definitely one of the most suitable softwares in the world to use, due to its very intuitive and well organized layout and user interface, making the workflow with the software very easy. Otherwise, when it comes to the 3d visualization of projects, it is necessary to use other software like ARCHICAD and Revit, which are more oriented to the 3D components of a project and therefore are more suited for this type of visualization
