Re: Which CAD Package to Use

Many people have asked the same question on CD. The answer usually consist of people saying this:

Use the Software that your engineers use. They will be able to help you CAD that way, if you were to use something else then it may be difficult for them to help with troubleshooting and what not. I prefer Solidworks, but some companies use Inventor. One of our mentor's/Alumni was using Solidworks at work and at University so they got it for us and taught us how to use it. Now we still use Solidworks even though that mentor isn't around as much. As Al said a sponsor may prefer one program over the other if they are helping you make parts. try to chose the program which will best suit your needs.

Good Luck in the New Season!
