Overall Satisfaction with AutoCAD
We use AutoCAD to draft layout and materials plans for design. AutoCAD allows us to create construction documents that a contractor can then build from. It also allows for precision drafting which is very important in our field. It also lets us coordinate our drawings with other disciplines and update our own drawings with them.
Pros
- Curved lines on a specified radius
- External reference management
- Showing what has changed in a drawing in the xref
Cons
- Dimensioning
- Annotative scales
- References breaking
- Efficient drafting
- Xrefs
- Cost of licenses is high
AutoCAD is better for drafting construction documents than Rhino. The ability to draft blue print drawings and update them to the specificity we need is a big leg up. Rhino allows me to see the model in 3d instantly where will AutoCAD I need to use a program such as SketchUp to bring the drawing into 3 dimensions.
