What is AutoCAD?
AutoCAD is computer-aided design (CAD) software that is used for precise 2D and 3D drafting, design, and modeling with solids, surfaces, mesh objects, documentation features, and more. It includes features to automate tasks and increase productivity such as comparing drawings, counting, adding objects, and creating tables. It also comes with seven industry-specific toolsets for electrical design, plant design, architecture layout drawings, mechanical design, 3D mapping, adding scanned images, and converting raster images. AutoCAD enables users to create, edit, and annotate drawings via desktop, web, and mobile devices.

What differentiates AutoCAD from other similar products?
The essential distinction among AutoCAD and other 3D projects is the intention it's intended for. Your standard 3D demonstrating and liveliness programs are intended to be a fresh start where you can fabricate anything without any preparation. Computer Aided design program, AutoCAD, is intended to be a specialised instrument with capacities in modern mechanical plan, engineering, and even regions, for example, astronauts and advanced plane design.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The most valuable thing is to have the option to plan reasonable 3D models utilizing one of the strong cross-section and surface displaying apparatuses. The greatest benefit is that it permits you to circle, travel, turn and fly over a 3D model to see every one of the points of view of the plan.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Programming is weighty and requires time to open assuming that PC configuration is low.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
AutoCAD is the most widely used software for designing. It has a simple layout and is quite user-friendly- it's easy to make changes and avoiding making mistakes. It stores information securely.

- Helps Innovate
