Re: Solidworks VS Inventor

I've used both Inventor and Solidworks quite a bit, and I definitely prefer Solidworks. With Inventor, if you're not careful with big assemblies, it can get really messy with error messages that are hard to fix or debug. Solidworks seems to have less error messages overall, and the user interface is a bit more intuitive.

Our team is switching to Solidworks from Autodesk Inventor this year...we have a bunch of licenses from the BEST Robotics Competition that we did last fall which can be used for any educational projects (i.e. FIRST). Ever since they got rid of the Regional Autodesk Inventor Awards, there's not quite as much of an incentive to use it.
