In stock AutoCAD is a valuable resource for engineers and an amazing tool for students!
AutoCAD Electrical is actually "inside" the AutoCAD software "bundle", which is available with a special free license if you are a student. We could say that this is one of the several different resources offered by the full product, so there is plenty of tools to help you out once you acquire it! With a new installment for the year of 2020, I noticed updated features and several other tools and functions. This is an excellent tool for people in the electrical field, but also for basically any engineer wanting a reliable and sophisticated software to help with your final results... Drawing circuits, pieces, objects, blueprints, architectural plants is much better with AutoCAD and the AutoCAD Electrical certainly will make you satisfied with the outcome of projects. Support is also responsive and reliable. Overall, I am very happy with my experience utilizing this product.
Pros
This is one of the many functions inside AutoCAD, which is a pertinent program for basically any engineer, no matter which field we are discussing. I am planning to use this tool for future research projects related to many different fields and I realized that AutoCAD Electrical is one of the many resources that I have, with great chances to be used along with other complementary functions inside AutoCAD. The fact that Autodesk offers a special license for students of one year (with the possibility of renewal) is a great incentive to try out the product as much as possible and I found it extremely positive!
Cons
You will certainly notice the intimidating interface at first glance. This program will demand proper training if you are willing to implement an effective use of such tool in your business. It is also worth mentioning that the price of this product is somewhat expensive, so it might be hard to implement such tool under limited budget conditions. A good computer to run this program is also recommended.
