Pros

  • 3D modeling particularly impresses me. They are the best in the market and continue evolving about this very versatile technological platform.
  • Dynamic and innovative to develop plans and projects in the city, in the field, individually and in groups.
  • Useful to employ and train students and teachers, as well as organizations that have to do with the design of complex structures.

Cons

  • Integrate an interface as a guide or tutorial in the design.
  • Provide tools with better and more updated designs.
  • Allow access to downloads of images that adapt to the virtual platform.
  • Integrate the design with the environment or geographical space

Return on Investment

  • Skills applied to the revision of finished products in the consolidation of avant-garde projects.
  • Innovation and real-time evolution of Autocad 360, is potentially adaptable in any scenario you want to use.
  • Better management and administration of designs and projects.

Pros

  • Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
  • Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
  • Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.

Cons

  • The autoCAD commands are different on the iPad.
  • The price is high.
  • Does not sync to Windows folders.

Return on Investment

  • This software has a high cost. Should be included with the desktop version.
  • Autodesk has done a great job of utilizing the cloud to help get jobs done. It helps a lot if you need to work remotely. It makes things much easier when you are working on a project and problems arise. These things have saved our company money.
  • It is really simple to set up and connect all your auto-desk tools. Thus, again, saving labor time for the company.

Great for Viewing DWG files remotely but editing/drawing will frustrate even seasoned ACAD users

Project Estimator Supervisor - Western Solutions in Manufacturing at Haworth (5001-10,000 employees employees)

Pros

  • Real time feedback on drawings from a site.
  • Real time updates on dimensions while site dimensioning.
  • Faster iteration times when working on a remote location.

Cons

  • Editing features are difficult to use even for seasoned ACAD users. More confusing for trades not familiar with the program.
  • Drawing features are frustratingly limited and overly complicated to use. It looks like they tried to go for simplicity but in the end made it more difficult to even draw a line then it should be.
  • Requires a stylus so I suggest an MS Surface device or perhaps an iPad Pro. Any other tablet does not have the resolution needed to properly use this program. Drawing or editing with your finger is pretty near impossible. Maybe it was the size of our members fingers but we were foundering until we tried with a proper device and stylus/Pen combination.
  • If you use ACAD in your daily routine then AutoCAD 360 will be frustratingly limited in it's use and ability.

Return on Investment

  • None as we abandoned the software.
