It was a couple of years ago when he bought it.
Please do not perpetuate the negative stereotypes of AutoCAD such as: It can't do 3d. Simply, it can. Sorry, just tired of people telling me that this awesome software can't do half the stuff it can do.

I never said it can't do 3D. It's pretty much indisputable that Inventor is marketed as Autodesk's 3D solution, regardless of whether AutoCAD has the capability to do 3D modeling. Your mention of it being more like Solidworks than Inventor made me think you were talking about some third software suite, as AutoCAD is nothing like Solidworks.
