Don't use AutoCAD, its shit and has very limited 3D capabilities. No large profitable engineering companies use AutoCAD.

Agreed, dont like autocad! I've been using solid edge at uni for a few years now and and found it really quite good for both beginners and more advanced users. Its something thats really easy to get started on and has quite a lot of good tutorials, but also a lot of features to create intricate features.

I wouldn't go that far as to say that No Large profitable engineering companies use AutoCad. Depending on what part of engineering you are talking about. Every Engineering firm I've delt with uses AutoCad as a base Program But not from a CNC Machining point of view. AutoCad is a hugely powerful program in the hands of a well versed user, but buy the same token the 3D in AutoCad Bites the big one. Inventor is the only CAD program that I have used and works hands down better than AutoCAD, That being said they are made by the same Company and AutoCAD can be intergrated with Inventor so 3D newbies like myself can draft in a familiar environment and import that to inventor for rendering.
