have you tried searching the internet for this info?

AutoCAD is a general use CAD program to draw/design anything/everything, with no easy ability to do anything architectural without a lot of work on your end all up front.

AutoCAD Architecture has tools for architects and builders to design buildings with, ready to go.

If you want more, go to YouTube and watch videos to see for yourself, and explore Wikipedia for more info.

I think AutoCAD architecture is essential for productivity.

AutoCAD is good for the basics, but has limitations.

Once you upgrade to Architecture, you won’t want to go back. Totally worth the $$$$.
