For simple schematics (\< 100 components), there are other tools you can use for quick drawing (LTspice, Multisim, etc.). > > If you invest time in learning the features and take advantages of them, it is a powerful tool for industrial drawings. ----- ### "AutoCad usability" — 5.0/5 > **Sasha** | *January 22, 2023* | Design | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I learnt AutoCad as a student and was able to understand the functionality of the software programme quite quickly. The ease of using Autocad came naturally after leaving my studies. Why?- Line weights are easily adjustable in different layers (you can add as many layers as needed)- Autocad downloads from the internet speed up workflow if you hit a wall- Revisions can be made on the same file when shared to different personel- If you get confused about a tool, theres usually a note at the bottom of the screen telling you what to do- searching for tools are quite easy as well - just type it in > > **Cons**: - Understanding the software takes time- Everything needs to be set up first if you want to work quickly i.e line weights, colour, etc) this needs to be done by the user - there is no automation or guide for this- Sometimes the quality of final projects are not great because lines are created individually. You need to have a strict workflow and perfect everything as you go because you will miss certain mistakes if you work too quickly > > Autocad Electrical is a great tool when beginning to learn about the basics before leaning into automation software applications. But it does take time to learn and understand which workflow works best for you ----- ### "Autocad Electrical" — 5.0/5 > **Marlo** | *November 29, 2022* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It can help to learn more and to explore on this software. D > > **Cons**: It can show that they are different commands and functions on this software. That why i like > > So far i really help me a lot because i am a former autocadd operator before i become a project controller. ----- Page: 1 / 5\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2058288/autocad-electrical?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/2058288/autocad-electrical) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
