I disagree. I am much better at Inventor and can make most anything on there with enough time. I do not even know how to use the 3-D capabilites of AutoCAD yet I still prefer it over Inventor. Why do I prefer it? It has nothing to do with what I am better at. All that matters is the way you think and process. I prefer AutoCAD because I am more into the certainty and set numbers. However, my friends prefer Inventor because it is flexible and enjoy being able to make things without knowing dimensions.

FYI: I am known here as the "Inventor Guru".
