At the office I work in we are still stuck rubbing 2 sticks together... I mean using Autocad.
I have been using autocad for a few years now. I tried solidworks but I just can’t get the hang of it. Autocad just seems so much more logical and easier to use.

I have managed quite a few complex 3d models on Autocad. 2d drawings are very easy though. I dont know what it is about Solidworks, but I just cant get the hang of it.

I like to draw in Solidworks using a deductive approach if I can.
Basically starting with a block or cylinder, etc and then removing material in the process that seems most logical to me to get my final product.
TBH, I still like AutoCAD for simple 2D drawings.
I use Draftsight for simple 2D drawings.
The deductive approach works wonders when we actually recondition large hydraulic cylinders, because then I know I cant mess it up too easy
This is what I was looking for
One persons idea of a design ( mine would be quite different )

It may be of interest to you guys that work with these software programs.
Way beyond my current capabilities
I am amazed at the detail that can be produced -- a visual building blueprint
Just print out on a big plotter and away you go.
Autodesk Inventor software 1600 to 4295$ price tag and quite possibly 1 year training to be able to use it. Not your simple CAD to draw lines and circles and add text.
Solid edge is more user friendly if compared to Solidworks or Inventor..
