The work has been carried out for identifying User Experience issues currently acknowledged by the users of Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, especially those from a background in Mechanical Engineering. A survey is carried out with experts and users of CAD software, with a questionnaire consisting of 24 variables, addressing the current need of the user experience for CAD. The questionnaire consisted of variables categorized into two distinct forms to understand the need for Automation with CAD usability. The collected information is put forth to Exploratory Factor Analysis which has helped to identify 8 latent factors contributing to user experience requirements related to CAD. Further, an approach is suggested for improving user experience on the basis of Fatigue and Productivity measures. Also, the study has suggested the requirement for implementing Artificial Intelligence to integrate all the issues identified put forth for further research.
