Customer Reviews of Autodesk AutoSketch 9
AutoSketch-9 I think that the program is good. I find it somewhat hard to use, however my assessment is quite unfair in that I have been using AutoCAD-2000. The difficulty lies in "backing up" from the premier software to software understandably not as capable. There is another learning curve to navigate.
Good value, different look from AutoCAD
I have been an AutoCAD user for about 13 years. In starting my own business, I wanted an inexpensive tool that would allow me to produce 2-D drawings accurately and efficiently with the skills I already have.

>AutoSketch 9 seems to have all the tools I need, like drawing tools, modifying, layers, blocks, object snaps and inquiries, but the icons are often different than ACAD, and less intuitive. Some of the terminology is apparently designed for non-engineers (e.g. "group" instead of "block", "transform" instead of "modify"), so I have to translate from what I'm used to. But essentially, it does the job and fit my budget.

>For comparison, I also downloaded a free 30-day trial of IntelliCAD from Autodsys. I liked the look and feel of it better than Autosketch, but the base cost for the standard version is $149, and I paid around $50 for Autosketch through one of Amazon's 3rd party sellers. So I guess I'll stick with what I have, unless I get really annoyed by the icons, or find some other limitation I can't live with.

Good basic CAD program
An excellent basic computer drafting program. User inferface that is not too dificult to pick up, and includes a reasonable collection of symbols. Help is fair. I could use more information fairly often. No programming interface that I have found. No auto-dimensioning. Snaps and alignment are always problematic and there is no solution here.
