Why AutoCAD Still Has A Place in Engineering
With 3D CAD Giving Users So Many Benefits, Why Is AutoCAD Still As Strong As Ever? It’s been around since ’82 and I still get calls today wanting to buy it no matter what other CAD packages out there can do. Even though Autodesk’s AutoCAD is 2D with limited 3D functionality (compared to 3D Solid Modellers) there are some good reasons why people still use it, so let’s briefly explore those.
What's New in Autodesk Revit 2018

Understanding Levels of BIM
Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a collaborative way of working underpinned by digital technologies. These technologies allow for more efficient methods of designing, delivering and maintaining physical built assets throughout their entire lifecycle. In May 2011, the UK Government published the Construction Strategy aimed at reducing the cost of public sector assets by up to 20% by 2016.
Revit vs. ARCHICAD
Revit is Autodesk's 4D building information modeling software. This powerful tool uses an intelligent model-based process to help plan all aspects of a building project, from design through to construction and beyond. While Revit is a fantastic tool for architects, its scope is vast and its toolbox is deep - it also services engineers, builders, project managers and more. Designed to be utilised as a collaborative tool for professionals in all specialist disciplines of engineering and construction, Revit is the complete package for taking a building project through its entire lifecycle.
Fusion 360 versus SolidWorks: How do they compare?
SolidWorks has been around for decades, and is commonly used for CAD design across a wide array of industries. In 2013, Autodesk introduced Fusion 360, shaking up the market by stealing many users away from the more engineering orientated SolidWorks.
