Why switch from AutoCAD to AEC or PD&M?
Introduction:
AutoCAD is widely used CAD software, but for many users it is increasingly clear that the need for 3D modeling and BIM techniques is growing. If you’re still happy with the functionalities of AutoCAD, but you’re limited by the limits of your current software, it’s time to switch to an AEC Collection or a PD&M Collection.
Benefits of the AEC and PD&M Collection:
The AEC Collection (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) and the PD&M Collection (Product Design & Manufacturing) are two bundles of Autodesk software that provide extensive functionality for the industries described. Below are some of the benefits of switching to one of these Autodesk Collections:
- 3D modeling: Both collections offer advanced 3D modeling tools, allowing you to create and manipulate complex objects.
- BIM integration: The AEC Collection integrates perfectly with other Autodesk software such as Revit, Navisworks and Civil 3D, making it possible to model and manage complete construction projects.
- Collaboration: The PD&M Collection offers advanced tools for collaboration and product development, allowing you to easily work with other users and partners.
- Data analysis: Both collections offer advanced data analysis features, allowing you to analyze and visualize large amounts of data.
- Integration: Both collections are extensively integrated with other Autodesk software products that allow you to easily work with other tools and systems.
Why switch:
There are several reasons why you might consider switching to an AEC Collection or a PD&M Collection:
- Improved work method: The new functionalities and toolset provide the opportunity to improve work processes and work more efficiently.
- Broader capabilities: The AEC Collection and the PD&M Collection offer much broader capabilities than AutoCAD, allowing you to tackle new projects and integrate new technologies.
- Professionalization: Switching to an AEC Collection or a PD&M Collection can help raise your professional profile for new opportunities in
the market. - Improved collaboration: The AEC collection has a number of different ways to improve collaboration with external ones. Think of fewer errors times the process, insight into pending action items and easier file sharing.
Conclusion:
If you’re still happy with the functionalities of AutoCAD, but you’re limited by the limits of your current software, it’s time to switch to an AEC Collection or a PD&M Collection. These collections offer comprehensive functionalities for 3D modeling, BIM integration, collaboration and data analysis. With Autodesk Collections you can improve work processes, expand capabilities and become even more professional.
