Architects, designers, engineers, project managers, real estate developers, students, construction professionals who want to create precise 2D and 3D drawings.
I like the practical and easy to develop designs in this product, in addition to the excellent technical support which clarifies the doubts in a direct and efficient way.
I have used it additional when I have no possibility to use autocad.
This allows you to use it even if you do not have autocad installed on your computer. Best of all, the application is super light compared to its Autodesk counterpart.
There are no areas that make confusion if you understand how things work.
What a great principal idea from these developers, everyone has been looking for a program like this for years.
I attempted to convert a rhino file to work in ArchiCAD and couldn't quite figure it out myself. The lack of information out there on this product didn't help me either.
3D CAD is amazing and learn motr tricks you will be super productive.
It's a powerful tool to design projects, works perfect in 2D and 3D, comprehensive software system. I like its universality, data exchange with partners and suppliers is easy and reliable.
Also, working with old versions that work under bad standards generates many errors in the CAD, and sometimes it is difficult to eliminate them (lines, references, etc.).
It's easy to use, it's the best software for the interior design and planning. Easy to use tools, exact measurements with proper sizing makes this software the best of its kind.
The main disadvantage of the tool is that it has so many features that they become difficult to find.
What I like the most about this software is its ease and simplicity to understand and work, for a beginner it is a very good tool to learn.
Sometimes i got an error while running this application and it did not allow me to force closed. Sometimes this makes me frustrated.
Our design teams love the product and it's a necessity for them. I love the ease of the admin portal and the impressive customer service we get from the support team.
Integration with other softwares on autocad is difficult, it can be hard to set up dimensions when you are just beginning.
Swapnil: My name is Swapnil. I'm an architect. And I give AutoCAD a score of five out of five. For more reviews, click down here. We use AutoCAD in our company, me personally for working on architectural projects, mainly creating drawings on large-scale projects as well as small-scale projects. The problems that we generally are solving with AutoCAD are to do with checking surveys, 3D surveys, as well as 2D surveys, and measuring distances on all of these drawing elements. I love AutoCAD because of the speed. Unlike other tools which offer 3D features, AutoCAD is fast, it is quick to load. It is very smooth, and the toolset is unique as well as powerful enough to get each and any job done every time. The only thing that I don't really like or would like Autodesk to improve upon is adding more 3D features into AutoCAD. There's already a toolset called AutoCAD Architecture, but I feel it needs to be a little bit more evolved to show a little bit more realistic elements because all the other softwares are moving to that stage.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
