Installation issues with the beginner version of CAD
Thread Content
For those who are just starting to learn *CAD*, which version would help them get started more quickly? Could someone with experience recommend which one is more user-friendly? :) :hug:
Apart from the interface in 2009 being similar to that of Office 2007, there are not many differences in the interfaces of the other CAD versions. The functions used for drawing PFDs and PID diagrams are relatively simple; I don’t see any difference in terms of the impact of using different versions
Personally, I think it’s better to use CAD 2004 or 2006 versions; since version 2007, the format of CAD has changed. Although files can be saved in the 2004 format, there are still some aspects that are not fully compatible. Moreover, more people are using versions 04 and 06 these days. For the convenience of exchanging drawings, it is better to use 04 or 06. Personal opinions are for reference only!
There isn’t really much difference, but I still think that versions 04 and 06 are easier to get started with. Buy a tutorial to learn the basic commands, then try drawing some simple shapes; I believe it won’t take long before you can use CAD effectively
CAD 2008 will do; it has more functions and is still the more traditional option. CAD 2009 is different again, but CAD remains easy to learn
If the building has never been used before, then use the latest version.
CAD 2004 is used quite often.
