Vorteile

= sehr selbsterklärend und einfache Bedienung , Befehlsleiste zum Suchen in der Praxis auch für die Kurztastenkombi sehr benutzerfreundlich

Nachteile

Die Erzeugung von Planköpfen ist komplizierter und bei REVIT besser gelöst ;)

Vorteile

Best Design and drawing software in engineering software, as I am a civil engineer, it saves my effort so much. They continuously develop their software in every edition, Price is not that much much according to its output if you think. Autocad gives various functions, you can argue about that, Their are many format like colour, layer, tool bar for different works.

Nachteile

Obviously, Autocad is not User friendly enough without a proper tutorial, if you have a tutorial you need to master it, without it you can not run this software smoothly. If we talk about price, it definitely expensive, but it provides something valuable in return. Without a good configuration device, you are unable to run the software smoothly.

Vorteile

Pros:
I used AutoCAD Architecture to build some architectural designs for a client. Below are some of the functionality and features I liked about AutoCAD Architecture.
• It easy to use.
AutoCAD Architecture has a user-friendly interface and an analytic tool which helps you to easily design and analyze the strength of your building while you designing your project. This means you can clearly see the icons of the commands you want to execute. Unlike other software’s were you can’t edit your blueprints, AutoCAD Architecture has special tools which allow you to easily edit your designs using simple commands.
• Speed.
Due to its user-friendly interface which allows you to execute various commands very fast, AutoCAD Architecture saves you a lot of time. This because it allows you to design, analyses and edit your designs by use of simple commands.
• It accuracy levels are very high.
AutoCAD Architecture allow you to be very precise and accurate. This means there is very little room for errors, hence you drawing will be accurate.

Nachteile

Cons:
Like any other software AutoCAD Architecture has its disadvantages;
• The weights of the lines do not work when the diagram is sent to a person with different software.
• Sometimes AutoCAD Architecture was closing when I added some features in your drawing.
• Sometimes the update comes with a new interface which may take time to cope with.

Vorteile

Autocad is an easy-to-use drawing software that has allowed us throughout our profession to give a more rigorous format to the presentation of our projects. However, the appearance of new BIM source software makes users wonder if it is worth continuing to use it, given the versatility of the latter.

Nachteile

When you build a volume, in autocad the parts are not assembled, they are independent parts; And when changes are made to the volume, it must be done part by part.
BIM technology allows drawing and assembling in the same step, as well as making changes or corrections, facilitating the task.

Vorteile

I liked the way how you can draw walls and architectural elements right from an specific option which allows you to save time by not creating layers for each line as in the classic AutoCAD software.

Nachteile

Some 3D drawing options interfere with the 2D drawing when you're new using the software.

Vorteile

In fact, there are many advantages in the AutoCAD program. I love it personally because it helped me a lot, for example, the ease of drawing on the program, starting to use commands, and also exporting files in dxf image to structural design programs, which saved me a lot of time

Nachteile

The program may be a little slow when opening or take some time to work. I hope to work on this and find innovative solutions for it

Vorteile

The software offers a comprehensive set of design and drafting tools tailored specifically for architects. It simplifies the creation of architectural elements such as walls, doors, windows, and roofs. The intelligent objects in AutoCAD Architecture are parametric, allowing for easy manipulation and editing. The software streamlines the documentation process for generating floor plans, elevations, sections, and other construction documents. Annotation tools are robust, allowing users to add dimensions, tags, and other annotations efficiently.

Nachteile

Collaboration can be challenging when working with professionals who use different design software. Compatibility issues may arise when exchanging files with users of other CAD platforms, potentially leading to data loss or formatting problems. AutoCAD Architecture may not be the best fit for every architectural project. Some users find that other software, such as Revit, better suits their needs.

Vorteile

Autocad is the most convenient, easy to use, one stop software for drafting, designing and detailing your Architectural drawings. It is workflow efficient that alows you to easily edit, replicate and import works from previous designs and customize your projects to fit any requirements. Best of all, it allows you to publish with ease to what ever scale you require. And Its not CPU or Ram intensive so you can use it without buying an expensive high performance PC. Overall, its a designer's best toolkit.

Nachteile

Over the years, they tried to merge the 2D and 3D functionality together resulting in Bulky software that causes a huge lag on systems. It also had compatibility issues with old designs you had from previous software releases. And lastly, there were bugs when it came to importing fonts and measurement scales that were implemented by other designers when working in group works, but now it is great to see these problems resolved.

Vorteile

When designing houses, I like how to camera motion moves through the design with 3D views.

Nachteile

Need option for adding a Google earth land map.

Vorteile

What I like about AutoCad is that I can design, model and put the exact dimensions of every little details. AutoCad is very convenient to Architect student like me because all the tools that I needed for design is in this software. Not to mention that they have a free trial for student which I'm very thankful about. It save a lot time and effort. Once you know your way on how to use AutoCad and what the tools are for, you can easily use the software faster than expected. Credits to the accuracy of its measurements and details it is a big help to quickly finish the project. I like how I don't need to worry about revisions because it can change easily without having to draw again. I also like how I can convert my work to other file formats such PDF and etc. Lastly, I'm very impressed in Cad 3D view because it is very realistic as it can simulate the layout of your design.

Nachteile

Not much just even though it is user friendly it really takes time to fully grasp its functions and details. Also, AutoCad requires to have a strong computer processing power in order to have a good experience.

Vorteile

Its the original computer aided drafting software and has been used by everyone in the construction industry. Its solid and works great. With a little bit of training its pretty simple to use and doesn't require extensive knowledge of 3d software. It does have the feature and is a good start into the 3D world. I love its compatibility with all other autodesk products and can't be linked into Revit easily. Its cheaper than Revit though and is bundled with that as well. Most fabricators and shops still use it so its a must to have if you are in the construction industry.

Nachteile

Its definitely a bit old school and not really the software you should base your practice around. Its BIM capabilities are very lacking. It does have some 3D capabilities, but the interface is cumbersome and not easy to use for first time users.

Vorteile

Autocad makes the calling of originators, planner and architects all the more simple, sorted out and intriguing, the autocad interface give each attracting apparatuses genuine in a computerized structure, with the assistance of the instruments like frameworks, object snaps , polar trackers and the symmetrical mode which carries on like a genuine set-squares and Tee-squares, an expert can sit agreeable on is sofa at home and make drawing audits, with this broad devices.

autocad interface can without much of a stretch be altered to fit the sort of drafting you would need to do either 3D or 2d, a few times the various toolbars and directions can be overpowering for fledglings, however they are helpful given the client knows how and what to utilize them for.

Autocad is client friendly,easy to utilize particularly the 2D drafting the numerous instruments have different capacities, that would be required for various kind of drawings, before you use autocad, you should comprehend the nature of work you need to accomplish, at that point autocad will offer them to you quicker, precisely and progressively satisfactory.

Autocad gives the benefit to secret key drawing records, to avert access to your drawings by different clients of your PC,you can go to choices by right snap on the drawing window,from there you can set secret phrase to your presently opened documents, its has truly help keep up some degree of duplicate right, and help to verify organizations idea and structures .

Nachteile

The sticker price related with AutoCAD is steep, thinking about fashioners, designers, and specialists, all utilization it unendingly. To work without significant glitches, for example, screen solidify, slow preparing velocity the product needs framework wealthy in memory and RAM. A couple of directions like Trim and Hatch work gradually if your PC is (for my situation) old or short on accessible RAM.

For new clients, the whole interface can be very overpowering thinking about the quantity of directions accessible for differed capacities.

I don't generally have serious issues with the 2D drafting highlight, as it is exhaustive, exact and easy to use, however by one way or another the 3D highlight isn't the best. As I would like to think, there is other programming accessible which can create excellent, introduction commendable and practical 3D renderings as most have their very own beam following, something that AutoCAD needs.

Also, for complex undertakings, it very well may challenge update areas, heights, and detail drawings regardless of whether there is a minor change in the arrangement/s. For this reason particularly, I lean toward BIM programming when taking a shot at enormous and testing ventures.

Vorteile

As someone who has used AutoCAD for over a decade, I can say that my experience with the software has been very positive overall. I first used AutoCAD as a student in architecture college and found it to be a valuable tool for creating precise drawings and 3D models. As I continued to use the software in my professional work, I discovered new features and tools that helped streamline my workflow and increase my productivity.One of the things that I appreciate most about AutoCAD is its ability to import and export files in a variety of formats. This has been incredibly useful in my work, as I've had to collaborate with others who use different software programs. AutoCAD's compatibility with other software programs, such as SketchUp and Fluent, has allowed me to work seamlessly with others and integrate my work into larger projects.

Nachteile

- The learning curve for AutoCAD can be steep, especially for those who are new to the software or have limited experience with CAD programs.- The cost of the software can be prohibitive for some users, particularly those who are just starting out or working on a limited budget.- Some users may find the interface and navigation of the software to be less intuitive compared to other design programs.

Vorteile

Easy to use and easy to modify. Resolution - For example, head-to-head lines cannot be manually linked to the desired resolution. Easy repetition and addition. Producing 2D and 3D graphics with ease, the software allows us to zoom in, making it easier to see the finer details on a larger scale. Models can be modeled, placed and saved in a private library. It has a property that allows modification of several formats by one command, meaning that if one part is released all other related parts are automatically released. The Layers option allows us to hide or show some specific details of a complex and complex object to become clearer and easier to understand. BOM or BOQ can be produced accurately. Bullion features allow for several adjustments in the 3D drawing.

Nachteile

The program is a computer-aided drawing program, so there is a problem for architects, there are no special tools to help design. Registration is expensive and requires recurring annual fees. Continuous updating of hardware and software is required. Data storage is a very sensitive process and data can be lost in the event of a malfunction.
To overcome this potential catastrophe, experts suggest a “data mirroring” process in which data is stored on hard drives in multiple locations and involves significant capital allocation.

Vorteile

It's customizable. I can migrate my settings from previous versions and when they change things that worked fine before, I can change it back. I know Revit has it's uses, but for me, it's too time consuming and drafting isn't easy or pretty. Switching between the 2 programs day to day is difficult because they have different thought processes.

Nachteile

I'm not sure of the price, but my employer is always saying how expensive it is and that they make you get a subscription now to upgrade every time a new version comes out.

Vorteile

Autocad is extremely powerful, it is a drawing tool that can work for any type of situation, we have created electrical, mechanical, civil and architectural plans with it, also room designs and layouts. It has so many features that make the use of other cad tools unnecessary if you can afford it.

Nachteile

It can be overwhelming, since there are so many comands you need to know just to perform the most simple actions such as drawing a circle or a line, it could be more streamlined. Also it is really expensive.

Vorteile

As an Architect it helps me design more Complex structures which includes lots of detailing in it and it is very easy to use if you have basic understanding of software. Presenting basic floor plans and elevation and other details are very easy on this software. Changes in drawings can be done very easily which is very useful when client ask for sudden changes in the drawing.

Nachteile

Using 3D is sometimes very confusing, It gets very complicated most of the time which is very exhausting sometimes and needs a very high specs of PC. For starter it can be little difficult to get familiar with all the functions

Vorteile

AutoCAD is most probably the best software on the market used by engineers. It is reliable, solid, with a lot of different functionalities. The software assures an high precision on drawings, difficult to find in any other software.

Nachteile

At the beginning it is quite difficult to learn, it is for sure not a software that anyone can learn in a short time. From the other hand this can be considered a benefit, as you will have around only people with experienced and high knowledge on the field.

Vorteile

What I like most about this product is its ease of use and all of its features specific for what I am specifically doing. Exporting and sharing projects is seamless and the options for what I can do with this product are almost endless.

Nachteile

What I like least about this software is the tediousness of selecting small lines. It can be hard on my eyes when using it for many hours on end.

Vorteile

As an architectural designer, using this software makes my job easier and faster with its tools being reminiscent of traditional drafting techniques.

Nachteile

The only issue I have with regards to AutoCAD Architecture is that it's a little too expensive compared to other CAD softwares out there.

Vorteile

The software has to be understood as a canvas. It gives you the tools to sketch so you have to think what you would do by hand, but with an incredible accuracy.

Nachteile

The same Pro is also a Con. Nowadays architecture is leaning towards BIM so you can really tell that the software has been evolving from the 90s, adding more architectural identity but, now that the revolution is at hand, you have to switch to BIM software and consider AutoCAD as just a sketching aid.

Vorteile

Its easy to use and hasn't changed much through out the versions. You can export to Revit/ Sketchup/ wtc. which makes it easier for use the program between trades and consultants. I really liked the use of tools for architectural designs. You can create anything to exact specifications with ease. Thumbs up to this wonderful product.

Nachteile

It is really expensive and The processing speed needs to be improved. It takes a while to get used to all tools and services at your disposal but once you have fully understand the tool then it become easier day by day

Vorteile

i mostly like this software because this software help me to plan project model percision and detail and it provided the best graphic results.

Nachteile

there is no bar command which guide the user to modeling the project, the new user also need more guidden button to guide them.

Vorteile

I have been with this company more than 2 years and it is amazing experience to use it and reach my goal. I will highly recommended this software to all architectural firm, individual who are invoice or working in same field.

Nachteile

It takes a very high space in computer and lag a computer.

Vorteile

My architecture firm uses this software every day for our drawings and presentations. We’ve tried other drafting software but none matched AutoCAD in functionality, user-friendliness, or customer support. It’s excellent when used in combination with other BIM software.

Nachteile

The main drawback is that, unlike many BIM programs in which the drawings are linked, each AutoCAD drawing must be edited individually.
