Top Rated AutoCAD Alternatives
My work is predominantly BIM-driven, which is the 3D successor to line drafting, so I don't use it every day. However, we often get imports for Civil surveys that arrive in a CAD format, which means I still occasionally need to use it, which reminds me that AutoCAD is a relevant tool.

I feel the downside is the subscription business model that they changed over to. we used to purchase a version of AutoCAD, in came on a disc and one could use it practically forever. it was a "perpetual license". one can still buy a version, load it electronically from the website, bu it is not a "perpetual license" therefore when the subscription monies stop, the access to the program stops.
