Function: CAD is more powerful, while CAXA is relatively weak.
operability: caxa is better, and caxa is easier to operate in dimensions editing, text marking and annotation.
If you want to learn software, you can learn cad first and then caxa. The operation methods of the two softwares are similar. The two softwares can meet different needs in different applications or in different companies.
AutoCAD (Autodesk Computer Aided Design) is an automatic computer-aided design software developed by Autodesk Company for the first time in 1982. It is used for two-dimensional drawing, detailed drawing, design documents and basic three-dimensional design, and has now become a popular drawing tool in the world. AutoCAD has a good user interface, and various operations can be performed through interactive menus or command lines. Its multi-document design environment allows non-computer professionals to learn to use it quickly. In the process of continuous practice, we can better master its various application and development skills, so as to continuously improve work efficiency. AutoCAD has a wide range of adaptability, and it can run on microcomputers and workstations supported by various operating systems.
