Chief Vs Autocad

[ORBIT]

i used autocad and ca collaboratively i feel the same way about the strength of autocad on cad capabilities over chief but if some one asks me to support this arguement it may be hard for me to fegure out one major tool regarding the draw and modify tool bars cus ca has every tool of those mentioned tool bars in a very excellent way. nowa days i am avoiding using autocad for cad detailing since i never had any constraint in using the compact but broad cad mode of ca for even structural drawings easily and quickly.like auto cad i use one layout sheet to display all. Slab,beam,collumn stair detail, and foundations and even more. I get every thing in ca to make a detailed architectural and structural drawings. Finally i just like to export it to autocad just because i like to c it there. May be just a habit i developed before but add nothing on it. simply plotting from autocad is what i prefer. since other engineers i share the jobs usually dont use ca. But the one thing i know for sure is ca is optimized for building, so mechanical engineers that work on machine parts and other different works shall use autocad. Finally mr orguz i feel the same like u some how but i believe ca is fit enough. but to support the arguement i would have been happy if u just post any particular strength or weekness regarding the major areas of concern on this topic
Thanks for all.

Thanks for the reply.
My only areas of concern are, I can see I will need a program for BIM I use AutoCad which really isn't a BIM program. Like I said I have had a look at Revit and Archicad and I don't really want to spend the next few years becoming an expert in one of those programs, when I can see that CA can do just about all
Revit and Archicad can do. I want to get as much feed back as possible from people that use CA, and better still people who have also used Revit and Archicad. I think I would also still like to use AutoCad and maybe even import CA perspectives into Autocad for printing. Anyway guys and Gals thanks for your feed back so far. If there are anymore CA users out there that do a lot of kitchens and bathrooms, I would love your feed back on CA also.
