Pros

Diese Software ist absolut Spitze. Man ruft sie auf und kann sofort wie auf einem Blatt Papier anfangen zu Zeichnen. Es gibt eine wunderbare Hilfe. Nach dem Durcharbeiten kennt man schon mal die Grundlagen. Hat man einen Servicevertrag kann man anrufen wann man will (es gibt keine stundenlangen Warteschleifen) und bekommt Hilfe so lange bis man sein Problem gelöst hat.

Cons

Die Software verfügt über keine Abwicklungsfunktionen.

Man kann sehr schnell sehr gut arbeiten! Der Resourcenhunger des Programms ist angenehm niedrig!

Pros

Programm ist für Schüler gut zu erlernen Viele Befehle und Funktionen sind logisch aufgebaut und gut integriert Der Umstieg vom Zeichenbrett auf die Zeichneplatte gelingt gut Der Support ist deutschsprachig, gut erreichbar und sucht einfache unkomplizierte Lösungen

Cons

\*) wenn auf einem PC die Software länger nicht benutzt wird, gibt es große Schwierigkeiten beim Wieder-Benützen, sie kann dann nicht mehr aktualisert werden, ist im Schulwesen oft problematisch \*) Auf- und Abwärtskompatibilität ist unter den CAD6 Studio Versionen nicht immer gegeben \*) die Funktionen im Bereich BEMAßUNG sind unübersichtlich und können NICHT ausreichend eingestellt/editiert werden, im Schulbetrieb sehr störend \*) Immer wieder Schwierigkeiten mit dem Dongle bzw. dem Dongle-Server

Derzeit u.a. Dokumentation von nicht technisch gesicherten Bahnübergängen. Der Vermesser nimmt die Verhältnisse vor Ort auf. Ich lese die Daten via dxf ein. Ich berechne die Sichtdreiecke und zeichne sie massstäblich ein. Der Kunde (i.d.R. Eisenbahninfrastrukturunternehmen) erhält eine umfassende Dokumentation des Bahnübergangs für Planungen, Inspektionen, Beurteilung der Sichtverhältnisse usw. Weiterhin Verwendung für Projektskizzen

Pros

Die Grundfunktionen sind rel. überschaubar zu bedienen. Das bedeutet, auch wenn man mal länger nichts macht, startet man nicht von vorn. Das Einlesen von Vermessungsplänen via dxf ging recht gut.

Cons

Die Philosophie bzgl der Ansichten (Klassisch, Modell etc) sind für mich immer noch unklar. Dafür mache ich zu wenig.

Bautechnik für unseren Immobilienbestand und Neubauten. Maschinenbautechnische Zeichnungen, Deckslayout und Umbauten für Schiffe und Spezialfahrzeugen aus unserer Flotte und kunden eigenen Fahrzeugen. Darstellung von Baustellenabläufen und Einrichtungen, insbesondere für Angebote und Bauausführung. Sehr gute Dateitransformations-Möglichkeiten zur Weitergabe an Auftraggeber und Nachunternehmer, die andere CAD Software nutzen.

Pros

CAD 6 ist gleichermaßen für Bautätikeiten, Vermessungsprojekte, Deckslayout von Schiffen und Spezialgeräten einsetzbar. Über die Hotline, die immer ohne Verzögerung erreichbar war, erhält man einen sehr zeitnahen und problemlösenden Support. Probleme bei der Transformation in oder aus anderen Dateiformaten wurden über die Hotline besprochen, sofort per Live Support oder sehr zeitnah z.B. als Update vom CAD 6 Team gelöst.

Cons

Leider bisher von unserer Seite keine Nutzung von 3D-Anwendungen, da bei uns zu selten erforderlich, und der Aufwand dafür doch recht groß erscheint. Bisher keinen Einstieg zu 3D-Anwendungen gefunden.

### "MEGLIO DI AUTOCAD"

4.0

March 26, 2020

Lo uso dal 1997 (si chiamava Tommy software) e non l'ho mai cambiato pur dovendo insegnare usando altre piattaforme.

Pros

1) Le modalità di impartire i comandi comuni a tutti i programmi su paiattaforma windows (autocad usa un sistema tutto suo, lento e cervellotico). 2) la possibilità di lavorare in scale diverse sul medesimo disegno. 3) Lo spazio e dimensione del disegno (foglio di lavoro) sempre visibile e modificabile.

Cons

Il mio uso non mi consente di valutare le funzioni 3D, quindi non mi esprimo. Il 2D è molto efficiente.
