there is pros and con in both software. It will be good if they can combine both good capability together.

It will be like drawing using heaven drafting software.

More than just referencing existing drawings tho. I have literally hundreds of wall, door, window, cabinetry, structural members, etc... AEC objects and multi-view blocks that are created to the exact specs and textures of the actual product along with all of the property set data and BOM information for costing and schedules. I would really like to be able to bring that with me when I jump ship.

Yes, some AEC users still prefer AutoCAD-based tools for similar reasons.
 
ad 1) you can still read/reference existing DWG details in Revit quite easily
 
ad 2) right, utilities are harder to make in Revit (you do not need them so often in Revit but still...)
 
ad 3) yes, for bi-directional communication it could be more pain; for exporting of plain DWG files (clean file, subset of layers), Revit could be paradoxically easier to use than AutoCAD Architecture

Well said Vladimir.

There are a few main reasons that I still prefer ACA or ADT over Revit:

1. I have a decade of details and drawings that I can still reference in AutoCAD and not have to completely start over. And along those lines I have created AEC objects that reflect the actual products that we use.

2. I have countless .vba and .lisp routines that save me a lot of time. Revit (at least when I initially looked into it) was not as versatile and harder to customize.

3. Compatibility. Most firms still use AutoCAD in some form or another. It's a pain when you can't effectively share information back and forth. I think Revit will get there eventually, but IMHO it's ot there yet for me.

... which is better - a humvee or a bulldozer?
 
You can hardly compare a general purpose CAD application (AutoCAD) and a BIM architectural software (Revit).
 
You could compare these two applications in AEC usage only - in AutoCAD (or rather AutoCAD Architecture - ADT) you can draw anything but it takes time and your learn curve is rather steep. In Revit, all you draw has to "make sense", drawing/modeling is easier and all schedules and tables are automatic (associative).

Hi all,
 
 
I know all lot of you have hear about revit-  faster and better, while some still prefer Autocad.
so i was thinking to start a Topic  to dicsuss all about it.
