The product offers features for editing 2D geometry and annotating architectural drawings. I also love how you can attach and import PDf files.

This was a great lower cost solution for getting into CAD. The cost is more than what we wanted to spend, but pricing is competitive.

Sometimes the program may crash or shut down unexpectedly. If the autosave feature is not enabled this can lead to a huge loss in work.

I've used AutoCad LT for 4 years and have been generally pleased with its features for my use case which is one off products and maintaining a floor plan for out plant layout.

Great for Interior Designers, Architects, Engineers and builders.

It has got almost all 2D drawing features. Creating complex multi-layered drawings are very easy.

What I like the most about AutoCAD Lt is its cost. A years subscription can be up to twenty five percent of the original program.

Easy to integrate in manufacturing applications. The printing options available are better than competition.

Auto CAD is very nice software for anything to planning,drawing and designing.

With the wide range of APIs, the solution has to offer and the ability to integrate with other third-party applications.

Still this is a good help for me doing my drawings.

It's enough to accomplish most design tasks and the pricing is a lot more attractive.

Some 3d elements and quick short cuts are not available but it really doesn't effect our daily work flow.

AutoCAD LT is a great light weight option for reviewing and revising, CAD drawings. Take-offs, measurements, clouds, etc are all very straight forward and runs quicker than regular AutoCAD.

It has no 3d capacities, so it is for no use in the architecture office anymore.

Again, I do not personally use it, but I have not been told of any negative features about the software.

It's an excellent piece of software which essentially strips down the standard Autocad version by removing a few features like 3D modelling.

The software provides single-user licensing, so it may be difficult to use as a business organization.

It is still CAD and is something that takes time to learn. Because of the trimmed down features it can have some odd errors where objects are not read/supported, so they can be edited or removed.

AutoCAD LT is a user friendly, all encompassing design software. The ease of use for our draftsmen is great.

It is an application that I can quickly model an easy 2 dimensional object. I can access this model I designed on the web and mobile.

I don't like it when I have to change plot settings so I try to avoid it.

Ease of use and the ability to install it on a tablet.

It permits to have an extensive library of already drawn items. Instead of copying and pasting from previous drawings, we can draw it once, save it in the library and call on it whenever we like.

Inventor software is a 3D CAD tool and the best part of this tool is to create sheetmetal part models perfectly. Also, this tool is very easy to use in comparison to other 3D platforms.

Has a great deal of value in using all inventor products. The PLM system integrated with engineer works great.

Inventor is very easy and user friendly software.

Inventor is the best suited drafting and design tool for high detail civil and mechanical drawings. It can produce fine data with high accuracy.

I have had a really good learning experience. I designed the parts for my thesis project using inventor, and  it was a lot of fun.

The 3D view is also really nice. The graphics are very nice as well and make it a complete design tool.

The price, for education, is great. Also, I am very impressed with the user interface and the ease of use.

Ease of use and Vault integration. Makes file management easy.

Like many other newer Autocad softwares, the amount of options is a curse since it gets really confusing an overwhelmed with the complex options for a starter.

Premade projects are difficult to introduce to beginner students. Having to send all part files with assembly makes sharing assemblies between teacher and students very difficult.

I wish I got to use this more. I am a big fan and supporter of AutoDesk products in general.

Inventor is a perfect tool for mechanical drawings as well as 3D mechanical models. Document production is  a very important ability of Invetor.

Due to that we can get better outcome  by using this software. Inventor has very friendly and smooth 3D interface as well.

This software was a good alternative to access the modeling of peices in three dimensions, due to its more economical license and the high level of tools and quality of its final products.

So if you insert 100 Identical components, it’s gonna take you forever to constrain them in your assembly. Also there is no assembly mirror that associative.

Really great as the designers have the great experience using this and create the ideas into 3D models and drawings.

The subscription-based price model and great customer support. Much better than Solidworks in this regard.

Easy, powerful, accurate, fun. Just a bit pricey... oh, and you have to run it on windows.

Inventor is very good at turning a part file into both assembiles and working drawings. The images it makes is just as good as anything you would find in IKEA assembly instructions.

I generally have a great time with Inventor. I like how handy it is and how convinient most of the functions were arranged and easy to find.

Another advantage is its easy integration with other Autodesk software, which enables smooth collaboration and data exchange between different programs.

It is a program of very good benefits when developing 3D animations, being one of the most known and used by the community of 3D designers.

The annual subscription is a good value for the money.

I liked most the intricate features and being able to create any part I needed, and then being able to 3D print the product.
