I took a Solidworks training program and I find that it is much easier to use than Autocad due to it's use of solids. I learned AutoCad back in 88 and still use it for quick layout work of say machinery in a building. I find Solidworks easier to draw with than Mastecam. One thing to note Mastercam imports solidworks models. I would use Mastercam for CNC machining/turning. Having read all the posts and seeing that each person has their own preference based on need and use, I myself use solidworks for manual machining projects. Not one new company will invest in 2D software anymore. They have a long life licenses (and support) to deal with. Add some figures to the drawings and your done.Īnd of course larger companies still use 2D software. You click and there is your front view, click again and you have an additional view, left, right, upper, you name it, only seconds to do that. Putting these 2D drawings 'on paper' takes you literal a few seconds. The most important issue about Inventor (and other 3D software) : while drawing 3D parts, your 2D drawings are automatically generated out of that 3D part.! ![]() There were a gazillion fewer conventions to work with the program compared with AutoCAD, Inventor is easy to learn, intuitive. After a few minutes I had opened the program I drew my first 3D parts. Starting Inventor 7 was kind of a revelation. Until someone proposed to try Inventor 7. I was not busy drawing a part on my computer, no I was busy drawing lines on a screen. ![]() I started my 'drawing career' learning AutoCAD 12 (2D) For me it was a never ending learning process.!.
