Re: Can you use any program for the CAD awards?
Seeing as the whole award is sponsored by Autodesk, and Autodesk gives the software for free specifically to FIRST teams, I would imagine that inventor is the only usable program.
However, from what I have heard, Solidworks is not all that different from inventor, it just takes some getting used to.
EDIT: You could always do your work in solidworks, and convert your parts to STEP format and transfer them to inventor, but it would probably be easier to just start learning inventor.
