And 3D. I use it over Inventor every time. Yeah, I know, Inventor has parametric modeling. But when you already know the dimensions of the item that you are drawing, then you don't need parametric modeling. I have used AutoCAD 2002 to model the 2004 robot, as well as seen an extremely detailed drawing of the 2003 Robot (both in 3D.)

It's not that hard to use, you just need to get used to the different commands needed to operate in 3D.

Okay, go ahead, tell me where I'm wrong ~:-)>.
