I work in the real estate department of a corporate company. Even if I work with DWG files, i don't need to work on the drawing to make changes. AutoCad provided mw to the best tools and features to make detailed design reviews. The program interface is understandable, it runs smooth and fast and I rarely experience technical issues thta I need to roubleshoot.

    I do a lot of 2D drawing here for our facilities layout for various different processes and currently for a new construction project that I am currently working on and the experience has been pretty slick so far. The basic commands for a starters have been very to understand the interface is very easy to navigate through as well.

    As the head of technology, I am being approached by my design team for Design tools, I found AutoCAD LT to be a right fit for them to enable them to carry out the activities and review designs. The product is user friendly and UX is feature rich. The team is able to create designs with detailing as needed.
