AutoCAD 2025 vs. ArchiCAD 28

Primarily AutoCAD is a software that focuses on 2D and 3D technical drawing, composing the drawing with geometric elements.
ArchiCAD is a BIM software (specialised in construction, more similar to Revit than AutoCAD) that allows 3D models of buildings to be constructed from preset objects such as walls, doors, roofs or windows. Each element contains its own properties and information.
The difference on the workflow is that AutoCAD has each plan or drawing on an independent file (DWG), while ArchiCAD concentrates the integration of various plans and views on a single project file.
As far as learning is concerned, AutoCAD is certainly more intuitive and immediate to learn, especially if you are familiar with manual drawing (Cartesian plane), while ArchiCAD takes longer but offers precision and completeness on a par with a more complex software such as Revit.
