Advice and guidance wanted/needed here please
I currently work for a big multi-disciplinary company. We have recently been advised the way we have cad licences will be changing, and with that, we will be expected to have fewer licences and more specialised software.
I've been sent a list of the Autodesk software we can choose from. Ordinarily this wouldnt be a problem, but the cad here is truly multi-disciplinary. (theres a Structural team, a civils team, and an MEP team who I work closely with, flitting between the various teams work as and when needed)
We have been told we are not going to be using "vanilla" AutoCAD, only one of the other products.
I need to put together a proposal for what software our business unit needs and to be able to justify my choice.
Having never used ADT, civil 3d etc I dont know the true capabilities of these products, so how different are they to the plain AutoCAD. What would the learning curve be like for one/more of the verticals?
I have also heard rumblings and rumours that the company are looking at going the BIM route. Would it be a waste of time learning a vertical, to have to retrain in a revit product.
Does revit come with a version of Autocad so I could use either/or depending on the project?
Oh, so many questions! (I'm sure there will be more)
Thanks in advance for any advice
