Microstation is more user friendly than Autocad. It is more helpfull for all design works from different engineering networks. It is easy to use because less use of work of keyboard for all type of command for drafting works. You dont need to select the command every time for drafting.

I have been using this tool for last 3 years and I found this more easy and fast than Autocad.

no doubt that the autocad is the best engineering tools..it makes the job more easy..all the details you need will be given to you..its just one click away...

yes, is very important programs specially in using 2D for most engineering works.

It all depends what you are using this CAD program for...

CATIA is by far supierior, however not every one is into modleing machinery, cars or aircraft... it is also a very difficult program. Desoto has brought out SolidWorks which is much easier to handle ... Autodesk brought out Inventor very similar to SolidWorks ...

Microstation has been the flagship of Cad for quite some time and is easier to use than AutoCad ... goverment agencies, large pharmasutical companies using this program.

Is AutoCAD the best? ... NO, I have worked with better/supierior programs

Yes, it is widely used for making drafts, construction drawings, shop drawings, design drawings in a detailed manner. Also through observations, constructions always use auto cad for their drawings.

Yes, beacuse it is one of the best engineering tools i have seen ever . I widely used to making drafts, construction drawings, shop drawings, design drawings by AUTOCAD. Also through observations, constructions always use auto cad for their drawings.
