how to learn inventor

[EricH]

Right now, I don't think this is the place for an Inventor vs. Solidworks debate. The OP needs to learn Inventor, at least that's what he said (emphasis mine).

Help->Tutorials gets you to the best place--the built-in tutorials. It's been years since I used those, but I can still do that (I think--the last time I got my mouse on a copy of Inventor was back around 2007--since then it's been Solidworks because that's what is used at my college).

Lemiant, I don't think Solidworks is more "standard" in FRC; there are a number of teams who use Inventor (and Inventor also comes free to FRC teams, or used to). As a matter of fact, there isn't really a "standard" CAD platform in FRC...

The top 3 debates you don't want to bring up in a group of nerds: Mac vs PC vs Linux, Best Programming Language, and Best CAD Program.
