AutoCAD LT
Chose AutoCAD LT
I have not used any other drafting programs like AutoCAD LT but we used to create potential site layouts on adobe InDesign. we had to create a scale and manually calculate everything to fit on a paper. This took hours. With AutoCAD, we get to work in real scale and can import …
Chose AutoCAD LT
We used for a period Siemens 2D free cad.
while it have some things interesting, the learning curve was harder.
the interface was not easier like AutoCAD LT.
Chose AutoCAD LT
Although AutoCAD LT is the lite software when compared to standard AutoCAD, it does all the work when it comes to 2D modeling and issuing design drawings.
When comparing it to BricsCad, AutoCAD LT shines, as it works without freezing and is usually more responsive than …
Chose AutoCAD LT
AutoCAD LT can be used by non-engineers, but free programs are usually for professionals.
And other software started to introduce some tools that only AutoCAD LT had, so why waste time looking for what is fully found in AutoCAD LT.
AutoCAD Web
Chose AutoCAD Web
Although there are lots of alternatives to AutoCAD mobile on the Google play store and the app store, many of these alternatives are not professionally developed and are associated with shady developers. So there might be a privacy or security risk with the usage these …
Chose AutoCAD Web
They are similar but the online/cloud feature of Fusion provides a better user experience across platforms.
Chose AutoCAD Web
I selected AutoCAD 360 because I had no idea how to work on in-house designs, plans, and geographic spaces. I invested part of the time in this innovative tool and I keep using it to have a clear idea of the materials that I should use in the different projects that I evaluate.
Chose AutoCAD Web
The AutoCAD 360 can work directly from the program, making changes or indicating where changes should be made while agreements are reached for the good of the project you are working on, the other systems show you the plan, but they do not help you with the edit or modifications
Chose AutoCAD Web
Although Draftsight is free and open source, AutoCAD 360 is better than Draftsight because more people use it. AutoCAD caters more to the "big" user base. It has a rather large learning curve though, however, there are many Youtube videos on explanations of how to use the …
Chose AutoCAD Web
As far as I know, Solidworks doesn't really have any sort of software like this, and that is pretty much the other industry standard I like to use a lot. So there really isn't any other competition out there competing with AutoCAD 360 which is kind of unfortunate as having …
Chose AutoCAD Web
Revit is another step above CAD 360 as more information can be added as well as more consultants and third party designers are starting to move toward those programs. I think the cloud compatibility is headed in the right direction and Autodesk is always trying to make the …
Chose AutoCAD Web
The best thing about AutoCAD is that it can create a Universal Output for any related software, irrelevant if it was created by Autodesk. Just about any software can interface with dwg or dxf file types to name a few. AutoCAD doesn't have a direct 1:1 that's comparable in my …

It is suitable for use with students who are familiar with using a computer. Unfortunately, we still have many people without access and basic knowledge, such as a simple application of the oficce package.

We utilize the software for remote access to our projects. It has come in the handiest when an unexpected issue arises and we don't have the right project files on our laptop. We can easily access our information from the cloud. If you need to download/print to a PDF file, this software is not able to do this.

Cons
  • Incremental savings (if possible) because autosave on big drawings took time to get done because it saves the whole file
  • Some custom macros that I made should be made standard (like infinite horizontal or vertical lines)

  • Lite version should be available for lower end devices.
  • Editing drawings is a complex and time consuming task (even simple edits).
  • Finding drawings on the mobile is a hassle.

This is so useful so we would like to keep renewing as Autocad 360 does. In fact we are very optimistic about the tools that come in every renewal because we will then have even more features available.

Usability
For being a light version of the program it has a ton of functionality and features. I found the system fairly easy to learn how to use once I took an intro course on it. Overall i think the usability is great and it was easy to jump right in and get working in the program

Return on Investment
  • We have been able to looks at CAD files that ordinarily we would not have been able to open. Giving us more control over our projects
  • We are now able to create very accurate draft designs that save us and our engineering/architecture team valuable time in drafting.
  • We can create our own plan sheets for when it is something that does not require a stamp. This saves us time and money.

  • AutoCAD 360 has saved a tremendous amount of time in file sharing and reviewing files. I know I'm getting repetitive, but having such a small convenience like this honestly saves so much time, and makes life so much easier.
