I'm curious if anyone is using Autocad for design work.
Architects use it, engineers use it, but it's never been embraced by our industry except for importing into Visio.

Quite a few of the high-end custom shops use it. D-Tools is now an AutoCAD partner for that very reason. I think it's safe to predict D-Tools wil have an AutoCAD based product in the future.

Call me old fashioned but I only use AutoCAD. I also find that pretty looking stencil drawings only go so far and sometimes even clutter up the drawing..
Its ALL in the details.

Of course I am using it for connectivity and elevations. What else am I going to use?

AHEM, The time it takes to learn any of these alternatives you can pay someone to teach you AutoCAD(like I did), skip all the BS and learn the real thing. You will also have a skill that is in high demand in a lot of other fields if you ever get sick of AV.:)

I use AutoCAD exclusively. Have so, for 16 years. Funny, that those of us who are indoctrinated use the 'AutoCAD' spelling...Must be some subliminal mind control ;)

Are you guys using the standard AutoCAD (notice the corrected spelling) package, or are you using any of the other Autodesk products (architectural desktop, Revit, etc.)

I've used both AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT (Light). Unless you are doing 3D rendering or need to write auto Lisp batches, LT does the trick, IMHO.
