You’ve probably seen the Google Trends graphs: AutoCAD searches are dropping, Revit searches are climbing. It looks like AutoCAD is on its last legs… right?
Not so fast.
In this video, I break down why the *decline* in AutoCAD search interest doesn’t mean it’s *dying,* and how the rise of alternatives like Revit, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD has changed the CAD landscape forever.
We’ll talk about:
– Why AutoCAD is still the best tool for many types of projects
– How specialized software like Revit shines *only* in certain situations
– The hidden players (BricsCAD, ZWCAD, and more) that are reshaping the industry
– Why AutoCAD remains the *gateway* to the CAD world even today
