I've done some 3d drawing in AutoCAD. I dont remember seeing anything with parametric design (tables).
(Unless i was looking in the wrong places.
But I am sure it can do 3d solids.

: My favorite CAD system is Unigraphics (mostly because it is the one I am familiar with, but I think it is pretty good without regard to my particular knowledge).

: The trouble with UG is that it is expensive and runs on expensive workstations.

: I think that solids (blocks, cylinders, spheres etc) and parametric design (the ability to change length, width, height and location of features by changing a parameter in a table) are the key features I would look for in whatever CAD system you learn.

: I have heard good things about ProEngineer (runs on PC's but is still costly). I don't know if AUTOCAD is really uses 3D solids and parametric design.
