Engineering and Machining with AutoCAD

I really like AutoCAD because it allows me to create drawings for my machine shop and helps the machinist see exactly what needs to be done with visual dimensions. Our machinists love the program because they say it's easy to illustrate an idea and it allows them to convert to many different files. Our customers love it because they are able to see the final product in visual before starting any work.
Pros
What I like most about AutoCAD is the ability to create blueprints for architectural designs and create 3D images of an engineering product / idea.
Cons
What I like least about AutoCAD is the difficulty to use and lack of help available within the program.

My overall experience is that if you use it everyday, the cost is worth it. The steep learning curve requires hours to master but with everyday use it becomes familiar.
Pros
AutoCAD is helpful for me to design process flow diagrams. I like how it is an industry standard so I can easily send and receive files.
Cons
The cost can add up. You also need a strong computer because it's fairly resource intensive.

Using AutoCAD has been a smooth experience—it’s reliable and does exactly what you need for detailed design work.
Pros
Perhaps my favorite feature was the ability to customize shortcuts and tools, which made things so much faster! I went out and purchased a gaming mouse that had several buttons on it and remapped them all into AutoCAD shortcuts.
Cons
I wouldn't say it's necessarily a con, but AutoCAD is something that takes a lot of time and repetition to get used to, so be prepared for that!

As an advertising agency, We use AutoCAD mostly to create concepts of new products for our clients to study the feasibility of bringing them to the market.
Generally, our clients perceive the designs to be on the accurate side.
The process of managing the design from start to finish is highly streamlined in terms of assigning roles and quality control.
Pros
The most important feature for us using AutoCAD is the high precision and detailed approach to making concepts and models for potential products to pitch to our clients.
Even though we don't use this software as close to its full potential, it helped us convey ideas into realistic 3D models instead of pitching them in the form of words.
Cons
I think the number one con for our particular use is the learning curve. We always needed 3rd party freelancers to assist with the projects. I think they can perhaps create a light version that requires less engineering knowledge and that has more features to assist with designs.
Also, it can be hardware-demanding when dealing with rendering a complex design.

My journey with AutoCAD over the past two years has been nothing short of transformative. As a seasoned user navigating the intricacies of design, AutoCAD has become an indispensable companion, offering a multifaceted canvas for turning concepts into precision-crafted realities.
Pros
The accuracy of drawing tools, combined with the snap functionality, ensures that every line, arc, or dimension is precisely where it needs to be.
AutoCAD's extensive library of blocks, symbols, and customizable templates has significantly streamlined my workflow.
Cons
While AutoCAD's extensive features contribute to its power, it can be overwhelming for new users.
AutoCAD's performance may sometimes lag, impacting the overall user experience.

I no longer have to make manual drawings, now I do them all at once in AutoCAD, saving time and doing a job well done with realistic designs.
Pros
This design software has saved me time by being able to create 3D and 2D drawings in a very perfect way, which completely eliminated the need to make manual drawings to make them professionally, which also saves manufacturing costs.
Cons
Its use is not easy from the first day, you must have a lot of extensive knowledge to be able to learn how to use all its tools and although it has a user guide, many times I was unable to quickly learn how it works completely.

At first, there was a steep learning curve, as the program contains a large number of tools and functions that take time to understand and master. However, once I got past the beginning stage, AutoCAD became a powerful and effective tool for me.

Cons
The thing I might like least about AutoCAD is that the user interface can be complex and difficult for beginners

We are now working with an electrical dealer, designing their electrical panels and we are having good results.
Pros
The AutoCAD software is really good, its features that I have used the most are organizing electrical drawings by layers and having control of them, in addition to sharing the designs with my collaborators through the cloud for easy access and download. The software is easy to use, with a few hours of practice and love for design you can learn the basic concepts necessary to make your first drawing.AutoCAD is very important in my company since we use it many times to create our clients' designs, and above all so that they can understand the dimensions that have been made. We have increased the number of clients due to the easy use of this software.
Cons
AutoCAD is actually very good, so far I haven't seen the need to implement any features. Inform that the software has very good support that they work to improve the software. Its appearance is very easy to use, it has a simple and easy-to-learn interface. The software integration was very easy and very important to get more clients.
