The reason I say this is that many of the parts you need to create models of design ideas are already available in Inventor. If you use Autocad, you have the learning curve of the software to deal with plus the gazillion hours of time it will take to draw all of the common parts.

Everyting in the First Cad Librabry is available in several formats, which autocad supports. I would focus on learning autocad, and then learn inventor. Invertor is really not that complicated and can be learned pretty well in a matter of days. Autocad on the other hand is much more in depth and complicated. I see them as 2 tools that complement each-other, not learn one or the other. Some things are better suited for autocad, some for inventor.
my 2 cents
