Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of AutoCAD Native mobile apps for iOS and Android give users the flexibility to view, create, edit and share drawings on the go, via any smartphone or tablet. Offline access serves to enhance user productivity by allowing users to work offline, then syncing any changes once internet connection is restored. Solid, surface and mesh modeling technology helps users create realistic 3D models of their designs. 3D navigation tools allow users to orbit, swivel, walk and fly around their 3D model. AutoCAD supports connected collaboration through PDF and DGN file import, DWG and image references, sheet set manager, and geographic location information and online maps. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.7/5** | 3205 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.2/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Autodesk - **Location**: San Rafael, US - **Founded**: 1982 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$250.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Target Audience**: Self Employed, 2–10, 11–50, 51–200, 201–500, 501–1,000, 1,001–5,000, 5,001–10,000, 10,000+ - **Deployment & Platforms**: Cloud, SaaS, Web-based, Mac (Desktop), Windows (Desktop), Windows (On-Premise), Linux (On-Premise), Android (Mobile), iPhone (Mobile), iPad (Mobile) - **Supported Languages**: English - **Available Countries**: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, United Kingdom, United States ## Features - 2D Drawing - 3D Design & Modeling - 3D Modeling - API - Access Controls/Permissions - Animation - Annotations - Bills of Material - CAD Tools - Change Management - Civil - Collaboration Tools - Commercial - Compliance Management - Component Library - Configurable Workflow - Content Library - Customizable Fields - Data Import/Export - Design Management ## Integrations (3 total) - Microsoft Excel - Revit - SketchUp ## Support Options - Email/Help Desk - FAQs/Forum - Knowledge Base - Phone Support - Chat ## Category - [Engineering CAD Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1207/engineering-cad/software) ## Related Categories - [Engineering CAD Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1207/engineering-cad/software) - [Animation Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/3780/animation/software) - [3D Architecture Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1483/3d-architecture/software) - [3D CAD Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1433/3d-cad/software) - [Architectural CAD Software](https://www.getapp.ie/directory/1431/architectural-cad/software) ## Alternatives 1.

In my experience, I have found it to be one of the most widely used computer aided design software's in the world. This makes doing business with both suppliers and customers worldwide so much more convenient as we share CAD files and do not have to deal with exporting files to different filetypes, worry about inconsistencies between software features, or any of the other inconveniences that come along with working in two different software's. > > **Cons**: Like most software's do, AutoCAD regularly goes through updates most years. In the last several years my experience is that the updates are subtle. However they may not always be super obvious and may take a little bit of a learning curve to understand without prior training. > > AutoCAD is a software I use every day in my work. The company who produces AutoCAD, Autodesk, is corporation that provides software products and services for the architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, media, education, and entertainment industries. What I especially appreciate about AutoCAD is how Autodesk has structured the interface similarly to that of other software products, which makes it easier to navigate other software products I also use. ----- ### "Powerful but Takes Time to Master" — 4.0/5 > **Jin** | *4 June 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how versatile and reliable AutoCAD is. It makes handling complex designs much easier and it’s pretty much the industry standard. > > **Cons**: It can be pretty overwhelming at first. There’s a steep learning curve, and it can lag when switching layouts, especially with large files. > > Overall, it’s been a solid experience. AutoCAD has all the tools I need, and once you get used to it, it really boosts productivity. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but it’s totally worth it. ----- ### "Auto CAD: Efficiency and Accuracy" — 3.0/5 > **Pranita** | *9 July 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Design the model in 2D and 3D with high level of accuracy. > > **Cons**: The software interface is little more complex and confusing to the beginners. > > I loved to design though some of the tools were very complex. I found it a bit costly software while that time as myself being a student. The parametric design is one of the advantages of this software which not only saves your time but it reduces the chances of errors. ----- ### "Great, industry standard with a wide range of Applications" — 5.0/5 > **Neal** | *26 January 2026* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can be quite expensive but it's the industry standard for design. Weather its civil, electrical, mechanical or something else it is easy to use and offers lots of customization. > > **Cons**: It can be pricey and if you are having a specific issue customer support might not be able to help you quickly without escalation first. ----- ### "AutoCAD in the Right Hands of CADE" — 4.0/5 > **Stephen** | *17 September 2025* | Printing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: In my current printing industry, AutoCAD has been an exceptional tool that help create and design 2D and 3D designs in various dimensions. > > **Cons**: AutoCAD offers 256 varied colors for creating models - even though there are other alternatives with more complex colors, AutoCAD suits my creative design projects. > > AutoCAD has improved collaboration by allowing teams in my organization to create and share 2D and 3D models in one place. ----- Page: 1 / 129\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ie/software/112399/autocad?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ie/software/112399/autocad) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
