As you are asking about AutoCAD and drawings, trying to stay in the same category (by comparing "apples with apples" as they say) you could probably consider one of these alternatives:

  • Vectorworks
  • Microstation
  • SketchUp
  • Autodesk Revit
  • PTC Creo

and bunch of others, some even Open source (free).

Your choice depends largely on the industry you're activating in and on the requirements of the deliverables you will have to prepare.

All depends in what sector you are working in and for what you are utilizing it ...

What do you want to do? Create drawings of machinery, houses/architectural, civil engineering site plans, GIS...2D or3D drawings?

Are you an advanced or beginner in CAD drafting. What is your/companies budget for a CAD program?

If you are into Plumbing and HVAC perhaps you will find Microstation easier as long you drawing in2D ...

 

Industrial Planning and most Government agencies (in the US) using Microstation, Arc Info

the car and aircraft industry - CATIA or SolidWorks 

manufacturing - SolidWorks ... Inventor ...
