Re: SolidWorks vs. Inventor

i would love to say that i like solidworks more, with it's high caliber features and simplicity thought the entire sketch to assembly process.
but there are several pet peeves of mine with solidworks:
the rotate camera tool
hotkeys (or lack thereof)
rendering and animation is counter intuitive.
a lot more that i havent discovered.

i have used solidworks and inventor both for about 4 months now.
it is possibly the better one of the two, but it certainly has a learning curve like hitting a brick wall. (plus all the solidworks labs at my school default to metric units instead of IPS grrrrr!)
