### "AutoCAD Architecture is very precise hence gives you accurate results" — 5.0/5

> **Chamath** | *21 March 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Pros: &#10;I used AutoCAD Architecture to build some architectural designs for a client. Below are some of the functionality and features I liked about AutoCAD Architecture.&#10;• It easy to use.&#10;AutoCAD Architecture has a user-friendly interface and an analytic tool which helps you to easily design and analyze the strength of your building while you designing your project. This means you can clearly see the icons of the commands you want to execute. Unlike other software’s were you can’t edit your blueprints, AutoCAD Architecture has special tools which allow you to easily edit your designs using simple commands.&#10;• Speed.&#10;Due to its user-friendly interface which allows you to execute various commands very fast,  AutoCAD Architecture saves you a lot of time. This because it allows you to design, analyses and edit your designs by use of simple commands.&#10;• It accuracy levels are very high.&#10;AutoCAD Architecture allow you to be very precise and accurate. This means there is very little room for errors, hence you drawing will be accurate.
> 
> **Cons**: Cons: &#10;Like any other software AutoCAD Architecture has its disadvantages;&#10;• The weights of the lines do not work when the diagram is sent to a person with different software.&#10;• Sometimes AutoCAD Architecture was closing when I added some features in your drawing.&#10;• Sometimes the update comes with a new interface which may take time to cope with.
> 
> As stated above it’s very easy to use. You just need to know a few basics about AutoCAD Architecture and your good to go. It’s also has a user-friendly interface which allows you to design and analyze your projects by use of simple commands. Compared to manual drawing AutoCAD Architecture is very fast in that you can input multiple commands.

### "Quick and easy in Residential Designs" — 5.0/5

> **Sahan** | *25 September 2021* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 2D drafting has been developed through the years to make drafting easier, at the same time keeping the authenticity. It is very important for a long term user since 2012.
> 
> **Cons**: Plotting/ Printing large drawings has been a little tricky as there most of the options are in manual control.
> 
> I spend most of my screen time with this software drafting and reviewing drawings, and I am sure I will be using this for the rest of my career.

### "To use or not to use AutoCad, that is the question." — 3.0/5

> **Rodrigo** | *13 October 2020* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Autocad is an easy-to-use drawing software that has allowed us throughout our profession to give a more rigorous format to the presentation of our projects. However, the appearance of new BIM source software makes users wonder if it is worth continuing to use it, given the versatility of the latter.
> 
> **Cons**: When you build a volume, in autocad the parts are not assembled, they are independent parts; And when changes are made to the volume, it must be done part by part.&#10;BIM technology allows drawing and assembling in the same step, as well as making changes or corrections, facilitating the task.
> 
> My experience is good, I always use CAD as a work tool, but today my profession / market requires incorporating the management of new software (BIM).

### "Not as complete as AutoCAD classic but good for not complex projects" — 5.0/5

> **Favio** | *26 November 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I liked the way how you can draw walls and architectural elements right from an specific option which allows you to save time by not creating layers for each line as in the classic AutoCAD software.
> 
> **Cons**: Some 3D drawing options interfere with the 2D drawing when you're new using the software.
> 
> AutoCAD Architecture is similar to the classic version that Autodesk offers, which is good for someone with experience on the field as it will be easy to learn.

### "AutoCAD Architecture is the first GO-TO appliance for the Architects and Civil Engineers" — 5.0/5

> **Rajib** | *13 April 2022* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The preciseness of drawing,  accurate measures and details, and the amazing accessibility of tools in the well-organized User-friendly User Interface
> 
> **Cons**: Limited file formats, Not incorporating the BIM feature, and It does not have parametric solutions.
> 
> The amazing user-friendly UI and precision of drawings of this software made AutoCAD Architecture a professional design appliance.
