I would define Sketchup as a sandbox game - whereas you are given a set of simple tools to play around with simple shapes. It's perfect for beginners and for getting quick ideas down. And there are some advanced capabilities that can be applied given time, lots of time. Give yourself enough time and you can use Sketchup the same way you could use other programs.
A Computer Aided Design program is not a sandbox game. You are not limited by the capabilities of the program, but instead by your willingness to dig deeper into Inventor and/or Solidworks and get the result you are looking for.
