Re: [DFTF] The Question of CAD

If it was up to me, I'd go with Solidworks.

I have learned both Inventor (FRC) and Solidworks (college), and attempted to learn Pro-E twice (back when I was on an FRC team).

You already know some Solidworks, which is good. (OK, so you knew it, but it's not that hard to pick back up again.) It's easier to learn than Pro-E (or whatever they're calling it now). It's also used a lot in industry. For the students, it'll be better. Jack is correct on the name of the Solidworks contact; I'd also figure that she'll be posting in this thread in a day or two.
