In my experience, solid works is the clear winner. I haven't had to use an autodesk product professionally until recently, and even then I'm working on transitioning to FreeCAD because it is more powerful than autocad (I can design something and write g-code in the same program to make it)
Autocad is such a shit product, I have to think the only reason it still exists is because engineers are stubborn and just stick with what they know. Autodesk knows this, which is why they are more than willing to give it away to schools.
- MH15 6y agoAutodesk gives nearly all their products away to schools including Maya, Inventor and Revit. I do agree with the rest of your comment, in a roundabout way- the individuals who are willing to leave industry to become teachers have knowledge that is a decade or so behind usually. This is still good, learning AutoCAD is better than learning no CAD for future engineers imo.
