Re: Why Solidworks over Inventor?

I find Solidworks a LOT more user friendly like the others have said. There are a ton of options and its easy to pick up, especialy if you already know inventor.

If you hold down ctrl + Middle mouse button then you pan instead of rotate. I think you can change the buttons to do different things in the options too somewhere, there is a lot of customization possible, but not needed.
