Autodesk CAD Software Review
Features:
Whether automated documentation, seamless communication or extreme customization, Auto Desk’s AutoCAD allows you to design and document your project with incredibly easy to use features and more efficient processes that make you successful. Auto Desk has, for over 26 years, proven to be a reliable company with a great product.
Here are some features of Auto Cad 2010:
1) Parametric Drawing can reduce your revision time by simply defining persistent relationships between all of your objects, parallel lines, and concentric circles.
2) Annotation Scaling creates a single annotative-type object that can be resized to reflect a specific viewport or model-space scale.
3) Dynamic Blocks allow you to edit specific block geometry which means you don’t have to create an additional block for each and every variation, saving you time and money.
4) Sheet Set Manager can organize your drawings and link sheet set information into title locks and plot stamps. Allowing you to find a particular drawing faster and easier.
5) Data Extraction Wizard can extract property data from various objects and automatically output it to a table allowing you to see detailed info without having to analyze an object.
6) AutoCAD automates table creation, after you define table styles and formatting, so that, with minimal effort, your information stays consistent throughout the project.
7) Quick View displays files as thumbnails which makes choosing the correct design project quicker and easier thanks to the at-a-glance view.
8 ) DWG True View eliminates new version/old version problems by translating them forward and back and offers a set of accurate measurement tools. That saves you the worry if your customer is using the same version and if they’re willing to spend the money to upgrade.
9) Free Form Design Tools provide complete customization so that you can draw almost anything imaginable. Another great feature is you can add specific parts to your existing diagram thanks to free form design tools.
10) Now you can print 3D models and bring them to a meeting or give them to the customer, saving you the hassle of bringing power and network cords, USB drives, or worrying about whether you can access your network from the hotel just before your big presentation.
Con’s:
1) Not compatible with Window’s Vista 64 bit operating system.
2) Some have had a hard time installing on their systems
Review:
Whether it’s DWF blowing away the competition or meeting the highest level of precision that your manufacturer demands Auto CAD software is in a continual state of improvement. Thanks to AutoCAD’s high performance and subscription pricing option staying ahead of the competition has moved to the realm of affordable. From conception of the product to the delivery to the customer AutoCAD is the program to see you through.
