AutoCAD is a comprehensive and powerful general-purpose CAD application that includes an extensive repertoire of tools for 2D drafting and documentation, with some added capabilities for 3D modeling and rendering.
Pros: Continues to be the de facto industry standard for 2D CAD; interface enhanced with a new dynamic input functionality that makes the command line optional for the first time in the application's 20 year old history; dynamic blocks allow multiple symbol representations within the same block, dramatically reducing the number of block libraries needed; attribute data can be directly extracted into tables in which simple math calculations can be done; several other improvements in annotation, hatching, interface, element creation and modification, and customization.
Cons: Pricey compared with other drafting applications; no improvements in 3D modeling and rendering capabilities, which remain sub-standard.
