Need some guidance - autocad f

Hi

I am a kitchen importer and currently use Articad as my design tool. I was wondering if moving to Autocad would be beneficial as i have never used it. Would my designs look better and how long would it take?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Tommy

If all you do is kitchen design then I think a program that is specific to that intent would better suit your needs. AutoCAD is fine but you would probably still have to include an add-on program to the cost of making the switch.

Thanks Remark

I have seen kitchen designs that were made in Artlantis and i was very impressed. As i understand it, Autocad does the backbone of the design and then you need another program to do the rendering. Right??

An add-on program will normally add functionality to AutoCAD that does not come as a standard part of the software.  For example, an add-on program for piping may include blocks of pipe fittings and even some Lisp routines (programs) for using them in an efficient manner.

Likewise, an add-on program for kitchen design may include blocks of typical base and wall cabinets that do not come standard with plain AutoCAD.

AutoCAD 2010 has its own rendering engine that can do a decent enough job.  For something more robust you might find yourself importing your CAD drawing into an entirely separate program.

I believe I just saw some cabinet design recently in the Showcase forum.  Pop on over and nose around.  If you find something you like ask a few questions of the person that provided the image(s).
