Re: Solidworks VS Inventor

I have used both Inventor and SolidWorks this FRC season, and the Idaho National Laboratories (one of our sponsors) has also used both, the INL and team 1566 prefer SolidWorks over Inventor. For us it is just easier to use SolidWorks. I mainly use SolidWorks to design our robot, we have had a lot more features that show us what could go wrong with our robot. And not to mention that it will show you the high stress points on a part. But that is what I personally think. But I do need to learn how to use Inventor better. I have used AutoCADD and it is close to Inventor, so I have little knowledge with Inventor. So use what you want to, I think team 1566 will stick with SolidWorks for now.
