I'm with Cory here.

I've used inventor for 4 years, solidworks for 2 and pro/E for 1.
I used solidworks, inventor and pro/E at my last co-op job.
I use solidworks at my current co-op job.
I use inventor for FIRST.

Of all of them, i find the best balance of form and function in solidworks.


I feel people become biased to the system they learn to CAD on, but I started on inventor and have fully been engulfed by solidworks.
