How does Revit relate to Autocad and other drafting programs?

• You can import pictures, attachments, etc. into most of the programs
• Revit has a higher level of detail than other drafting programs
• Stemming from the families option that stores data and creates schedules, etc.
• Easier integration of disciplines 
• Feasible in other programs, but not as easy
• Revit can export to a scheduling and estimating program more directly - again due to the level of detail
• Revit requires a more capable computer, as in most computers can run programs such as sketchup, but not all can handle ones more complex like revit
