I prefer autoCAD, becuase Inventor isnt worth learning

Why pass up a great (and FREE!) opportunity to learn another application? Having multiple CAD application skills on your resume' when it comes time to look for that job IS a plus. I've been drawing with Autocad for a long time but since my exposure to Inventor and Solid Edge, I've concluded that parametric modeling is the way to go (especially for mechanical models). The concepts were a little hard to convert to (old dog - new concepts) but I got around the learning curve.

One other thing - I recently started using Solid Edge and found it easy to work with after learning the basics with Inventor. The drawing concepts and terminology are similar.

Give Inventor a try...... what do you have to loose?
