that was more of a joke because the other day I was playing around in sketchup and actually got a mediocre looking design out of it.

i tried sketchup i cant stand it!!! i use either blender or inventor, although now that im getting good at inventor (see my site andrewshomepage.50webs.com under 'My CADs' i prefer inventor

I chose other because I use both Inventor and AutoCAD. That way I get the best of both.

We use inventor because we have it, but if we got UniGraphics I'm 100% positive we'd use it instead, I've worked in catea, UG, SE, and inventor and I don't see too much problem working in any of them, really we only use inventor cause it's free
