I have to admit, we have ADT, but only use it as vanilla Autocad. In fact,
none of us use ADT at all. Perhaps that will change.
It was difficult enough for us to learn Autocad. I'm the most proficient,
but I don't know like I should. It's hard, so I figure after I'm really
good with Autocad, I'll dive into the ADT. We've had it about 3 years?
I've been a bit lazy in this regard, but I've been extremely busy (putting
in overtime I don't get paid for, etc.) trying to get my projects done
(primarily U.S. Army project mgmt but also architecture).
I admit I haven't given ADT a fair chance yet; but really, ADT seems as hard
or harder than Autocad to learn. It also seems unpleasant and not fun.
I'm at the point where I want to seriously start learning an architectural
add-on, and we have ADT, so I guess I'll go into that. -But, at the back of
my mind I keep thinking - I should learn Revit instead.
If Autodesk would just add ADT into the Revit series, I know I could get my
govt. bean counters to let me get it. If Autodesk really wants us to
migrate to Revit, they would do this.
