I just took an Advanced CAD course at IVY Tech. They use Solidworks. I loved most of it. I was using the 2004-2005 version. School was using the 2005.
The student version has some glitches though. Example: I spent almost an hour trying to get a Fillet right. Never got it quite right. Took the drawing to school and had it done in 5 minutes.
I pity the students that bought the 2006 version. They couldn't do the drawings at home and print them at school

I could
I agree about the tutorials. They are first rate.
