Almost never. For anything beyond a crude DIY project, use a real PCB design tool. Instead, use AutoCAD for what it does best: mechanical integration, board outlines, and assembly drawings – and let dedicated PCB software handle the copper, connectivity, and manufacturing files.

: Use the Polyline entity rather than the Trace entity. Polylines can have assigned widths and multiple vertices, making them more compatible with Gerber conversion .

Best for: Quick engagement and driving traffic.
