AutoCAD's files structure doesnt feature categorizing a design file into parts, componets and bodies, its sees all as one, making it less suitable for 3D designs practices

AutoCAD design is mostly manipulated geometrically instead of parametrically, certain operations and task would be difficult and time consuming to carry out manually and repetitively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In the latest years, AutoCAD incoperated advance levels of automation,file manipulation and data management,this has made the use of the software for managing large projects and performing repetitive task more easy. I can easily add fresh/waste water supply layouts to building plans, without fear of inconsitency ,missing refrences, file acess & control etc. With AutoCAD 3D (solid,surface and mesh), i can easily generate freehand 3D concepts which i would develop later on a sister software.

Thankfully, I haven't necessarily had any problems with Rebelle, and no need for customer support yet. Checking out and paying for the software was the only challenging part, but I went to the community's forum and found what I needed to fix this. I had to do nothing but restart Rebelle afterward.

it helps me to marge more projects together, it supports many fields and has unlimited mind open source to do a lot of things make my project nicely, so if you still a student you can create many project in a quick time, and when you will start it'll see automatically guide step to mention you Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Molte poche cose; utilizzo Zwcad praticamente da sempre, da quando era distribuito in maniera free e l'ho crescere ed evolversi in maniera esponenziale fino ad oggi e diventare un vero e proprio concorrente del più blasonato software che tutti conosciamo. Sicuramente ancora qualche crash di troppo o implementare ancora di più i comandi di modellazione 3d ma sono sicuramente sulla strada giusta. Peccato che stia crescendo un pò troppo anche il prezzo...ne comprendo le ragioni ma verrebbe meno uno dei principali punti di forza. Sarebbe molto utile anche avere video e manuali in lingua italiana Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While SketchUp excels in many areas, there are a few drawbacks, especially when it comes to 3D printing. The software isn’t specifically designed for creating models intended for 3D printing, which can lead to issues like non-manifold geometry, overlapping faces, or gaps in the model. These issues often require additional time for troubleshooting and fixing before a model is ready for printing.

Additionally, the precision tools in SketchUp, while sufficient for many design tasks, can sometimes feel limiting when exact measurements and tolerances are critical for 3D printing. This can result in models that don’t print as intended without further refinement in more specialized 3D printing software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

SketchUp solves several key problems in the design process, particularly in visualization and communication. One of the biggest challenges in architecture and design is translating complex ideas into clear, visual representations that clients and collaborators can easily understand. SketchUp’s intuitive interface and powerful modeling tools allow me to quickly create detailed 3D models, making it easier to convey design concepts and explore different options in real time.

Still no possibility to place small labels, logos or simple textures on partial surfaces within an assembly (such as stickers in Solidworks). If you want to see something like this, you either have to use the Render Studio or imprint the labeling correctly into the geometry... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a bit limited when it comes to exporting and importing data, it does not support STP, IGS, OBJ and FBX files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NX CAD proves to be a very useful and efficient tool by offering us the ability to crease accurate and detailed designs and by allowing us to perform simulations and analysis quickly and accurately, this has had a positive impact on the company's productivity.

Nothing springs to mind as I write this review and in my world if something isn't right or likable then ask questions and usually there will be a work around so something which may seem to be a negative should really be treated as a learning experience and look for ways through the issue.

CMS Intellicad is giving me a platform on which to create 3d models and 2D working drawings for my designs of large scale model railway stock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Require some more import funcionality then it will be more useful to us Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a large team over here and with ARES we have good collaborative features like Commenting on the drawing, picture note and Version history. Which really helped us to cut down our overall project completion time.

With ARES we have productivity tools like smart dimension, powertrim etc. also which we are getting benefits in our projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The software sometimes feels slow when handling very complex designs, and it requires a high-end system to run smoothly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solid Edge helps in designing complex 3D models and assemblies with precision, reducing manual errors. It streamlines the entire product development process, from concept to manufacturing. For me, it saves time, improves accuracy, and ensures better collaboration within the team, making it easier to meet project deadlines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Assemblies are a bit difficult to do, its way different than in other software, but once you find the right tool you can do it as easy as in other CAD/CAM software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use it for the FIRST Robotics Competition with my students, the best thing that we have is that every part is saved on the cloud, so I can perfectly work in different computers and different locations without having to carry one with me, also it saves a lot of trouble we had before as we experienced compatibility issues with other software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You need to master how planes work, if you intend to asemble your parts and components easily, simulating real world relationship between the parts via the asssembly enviroment.

You need to fully understand assembly modeling especially if you are working on a large project with over a thousand part. etc

You need to understand the file structuring and basic file handling within inventor, else you would run into constant erros trying to reuse or locate design files. Sometimes the errors can cost you the clients trust if not managed properly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ilogic feature in inventor basically hands me the power to automate my design, create variations and initaite design configurationns in a controlled manner. This leads to my ability to meet clients need in the shortest possible time.

Adopting Inventor for my product design workflow makes the entire experince smooth. I am giving the ability to implement and insert fastners, mechanical weldments, belt and chain drives, mechanical frames an others, through calculated, and analysis-based processes,thus making informed design decisions.

Basically, an ADMS console is required to set up a server, then an Autodesk vault client is set up for authoring of design data into the sever, via dedicated file structures. All i did was to link Inventor to my Autodesk vault, then all my designs from inventor was easily checked in and out of the vault, ensuring proper design documentation , control, and secuirty, to mention a few.

Product design and review drawing creation

I am satisfied with it in many ways and use it well because it is compatible with Solidworks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's parametric block design compared to AutoCAD's dynamic blocks. I HATE how the visibility states can be outside of the block so that when you explode a block that has visibilities will then be put into the dwg outside of the block. This causes crazy lag if you need to explode multiple blocks. This requires you to use the DEPARAMETRIZE command before you explode, but this also removes the imported fields inside the blocks. Not ideal. I also do not like how when you copy and paste an entity inside of a block that is tied to a visibility, it copies and pastes that visibility again. (Because you can have more than one visibility inside of a block... cool idea, but now I see why AutoCAD doesn't allow it) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The price of AutoCAD is crazy high, so we went to BricsCAD which as a daily user (excluding parametric block creation), is the same. So, it saves us buckets of cash year after year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It isn't so intuitive at first, it offers free tutorials but anyway it took us a while to understand and master the handling of layers or clipping masks; so no need to get discouraged. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows us to design book and magazine covers from scratch and incorporate illustrations and typographies with professional results. GIMP's ability to make detailed adjustments to images has allowed us to effectively handle most image manipulation needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are plenty of tutorials up already, but it is a more niche product than OnShape, which is a more niche product than Fusion360, so I feel like the community to seek and give help is a little smaller, but that is a bit outside Shapr's control.

Also, there is the cost. If I didn't have an edu account, I likely would never have even given Shapr a shot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The problem it is solving are primarily functional problems. That is to say, if something is broken, or something can be improved with a bespoke designed tool or attachment, Shapr comes in handy to quickly and easily design something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

AutoCAD is the renewal product per year. This is the major drawback from my side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Parametric featues helps me alot in AutoCAD. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was more layer effects and manipulation options. Other than that, I can't think of much. It pretty much does everything I'd want it to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can draw directly on my tablet screen and the easy to use options saves a lot of time. My turnaround time for projects is much shorter now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far we have not seen any issues with Altium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With the help of Altium Designer, we have redesigned the PCB as 6-layer board with differential pairs of matched impedance. These changes helped in passing the EMC testing, resulting in product launch on the market.

Altium Designer's API with major component suppliers and IHS market help a lot during component selection process. We save a ton of time now, as pretty much every component that is needed has REACH and RoHS information, which helps us in making the decesion on whether the component can be used or not in the early stage of the deisng.
