Reviewer Insights for: AutoCAD
Performance of AutoCAD Across Market Features
AutoCAD Likes & Dislikes
I like that it is relatively simple for use and the shortcuts are intuitive.
It is efficient for workflow and has a light file size which benefits small practices with not so huge data storage.
ease of use, integration with other tools such as Rhinoceros 3d, Revit, Archicad, Sketchup
Connecting with external programs like Word or Excel is difficult or impossible and changing the units in the layout area is also hard to do.
Support service was less efficient when we had questions on a certain workflow and working with 3D within the software was not very straightforward.
limitation on 3d design, it's not a good fit to work 3d
