Autocad - Abosolutely love using it. This is one software that I use on daily basis. Even though inventor is more user friendly, in my opinion autocad is more user friendly (I guess it really depends on the user). Tytus was the first person who got me into Autocad and he showed me few techniques. Overtime I became faster at designing things in Autocad. Since then I have been using it.

Inventor - It's a great tool when it's time to design a robot or small parts. But most of the industrial companies use Pro E or Autocad. If I have to make a small part of something that I want to show students, I use inventor. Even Though I have heard people say that inventor is VERY user friendly and one can design something in it really FAST, I think it really depends on the user and what the user is most comfortable with.

... Have knowledge in all the cad softwares possible, it helps, but use the one that you are most comfortable with.
