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.
