Inventor is hardly used at all in industry, actually.
The most common CAD programs in industry are probably Solidworks, Pro/E, Unigraphics, Catia, etc.
I used Inventor for 4 years prior to last year and I was pretty proficient with it. However, we switched over to Solidworks this year and I find it much quicker modeling parts in Solidworks than Inventor. I also prefer the user interface to that of Inventor. It also feels like constraining assemblies is much less of a pain in Solidworks.
