Why does AutoCAD still exist?

Why does AutoCAD still exist?

Anonymous
No aplicable

I am very tired of AutoCAD as a student. AutoCAD by far is the most time consuming, annoying, stress inducing software I have ever tried to learn. The commands are backwards, you have to click in certain patters like a robot, such as if you want to copy something you would have to enter a ridiculous amount of keys and clicks to finally do something, then God forbid if you are in a command and you mess up, then you have to go through 10 different processes again. It is not user friendly to say the least.

 

I own Inventor, 3DS Max, Maya, Mudbox, and Revit, I would rather stare at the Sun with the most high powered telescope you could get me, it really is that bad. I honestly don't know why we have to learn this program, it was obsolete 10 years ago, there are many different 3D programs out there that you can do the same thing in, It kills me that companies still use it. If I want to build a model in AuoCAD, I would probably have to do it 4 times over compared to Inventor, why? 

 

The only applications I could see this being useful in would be electrical schematics and house plans, but even then there are programs that do that more quickly and easily.

 

Other 3D programs of what AutoCAD does in less than half the time and no stress, I can't be the only one that feels this way... I don't understand why this software is just flung at students, why companies would still use it, and why it isn't easier to use, it's way too time consuming to learn when you know there is no reason to learn it...

Why is everyone so nasty on here ??   And yes, “here I am”. Just because I’m in the stands watching the race, doesn’t meant it’s my horse .

Well, to be honest.....for some of us, the most rewarding part of our jobs is that our chair swivels.

Well, maybe I was a little bit generous with the word 'swivel'.

ok, so not everyone in here is rude I see. I am happy to see that.

 

I don’t know if that is a result of your swivelling chairs or not but either way, that’s good to know:) 

 

p.s… I wish I had a swivelling chair… lol

You went from the stands to the track as soon as you posted. And you continued to attack a certain individual in another thread in which you had nothing related to the topic to contribute. Who's next? Me?

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Because Autodesk didn't software protect their program so every kid in the world had a pirated version so everyone in the world had a stolen version on their computer. I have to admit, it was good marketing. Everyone drank the koolaid, thinking this was the real deal.

the honest answer is most likely they have never been exposed to anything better. That or cost affordability. There are numerous other programs that can do all that same stuff in a 3rd of the time. Might just cost a bit more.
