Rapidly increased productivity for bulk drawing production but took a lot to learn how to get started and use the program and not extremely user friendly. In short, the concept is great, the application is mediocre.

Pros

PDFs saved directly to the same directory Relatively fast Keeps the title the same as AutoCAD drawing

Cons

Hard to get started Crashes all the time The GUI feels like it belongs in the early 90s. Getting the key emailed to you and manually installed into the program seems outdated since other software doesn't require that when you pay for the item

As the sole drafter /designer in my company, it allows me to automate repetive tasks like having to put an IFC stamp on 100 drawings or pasting in a new titleblock

Pros

Hurricane will allow you to easily a script or lisp routine on hundreds of drawings by dragging and dropping them into the program. You can technically do this already in AutoCAD but using Hurricane is much faster. Customer support is top notch

Cons

The user interface is confusing and outdated.

I use it here to maintain PDF files of 500 shopping center site plans for our legal department. I refresh the PDFs monthly for legal from our master site plans, which we maintain on a daily basis.

Pros

I appreciate most the ability to run an AutoCAD lisp routine on literally hundreds of AutoCAD files.

Cons

Can't think of anything about it, but think that AutoCAD should have this feature already built in.

Printing and changing drawings in much less time.

Pros

That I can manage a lot of files in a really short time, print, changes at drawing and that I can create my own scripts for my need.

Cons

The ease of use could be improfed. If an error occures it would be helpful to know where I can fix it in the script.

Pros

What I like most is that it is a reliable software that allows users to save time by automating virtually any task in AutoCAD either in mechanical electricity, architecture or other matter by means of a sequence of commands easily and simply, allowing it to process and customize them in batches, it is easy to install and manage. Another important point of this software is that all the data files are saved in ASCII plain text format and can be edited using any software.

Cons

The least I like about this software is the cost in acquiring the license, they present few plans for the user and only favor large and small companies and medium-sized businesses that work with the tool. We can also say that it is designed primarily for an AutoCAD specialist, for a beginner it will be a little complicated to start this tool.

Pros

It is the only program that gives you so many tools to design that you can do practically everything .. your library is the most complete on the market ...

Cons

The only thing I can do against is its cost .. it is almost impossible to get a license for the average user due to the great cost it has ..

Pros

This has saved me so much time. If you ever have to perform repetitive updates to multiple files, this software can be a lifesaver. Especially useful when a parameter that affects multiple files changes.

Cons

The concept of batch scripts is new to a lot of people. It was to me. But now I wouldn't do without it.
