Pros/Cons
Pros
- I enjoyed how amazing real state presentations are done, customers are amazed looking at a 3D render of their future property, simply amazing.
- My overall experience with AutoCAD has been wonderful, it a very helpful tool and provides a lot of features than helps on designing and reviewing drawings.
- I love the user friendliness of autocad. Even if you don’t know how to do something on it, it’s easy to figure out how to do what you want.
Cons
- The line style selection can be confusing as the line style chosen may not reflect properly when exported. The cursor snapping options can be confusing/ bothersome sometimes.
- Bad news for new users, AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT 2019 are only available by subscription unlimited licenses are no longer available.
- It is very hard to have even the least amount of dislike for anything this product has offered over the years.
Pros
- This is a good software for 3D design. It is for free and there is a great community that can give support to you, with a lot of tutorials in Youtube.
- I love that it’s free first of all. The projections from all angles is amazing and really helpful when designing for clients so they can really get a full picture of what you are designing.
- Love that I can create a visual for my bosses at work to see using this software, was very impressed how easy it was to pick up and go, lots of videos and help on the internet.
Cons
- It has very limited functionality and is weak on 3D CAD.
- For me it is very difficult to do the transition from 2D to 3D because there are a lots of options that I do no manage for work in three dimensions.
- Extremely time consuming and frustrating for the amount of work produced.
