Agreed 100%. Inventor is a
much more powerful and capable program in most areas. (AutoCAD does have an advantage for some things. But Microsoft Vizio could probably make up for what Inventor lacks).
I do agree with the fact that almost no one in industry has ever heard of Inventor. But, it's our job to show them. When I tell them "it's just like Solidworks" they say "oh, okay, I know what that one is"
And here's the thing, FIRST isn't about learning how to do one specific thing or how to use one specific piece of software. FIRST is about learning how to learn.
Once you learn on Invnetor, you can make the jump to any CAD system you like.
