Inventor vs SolidWorks

Inventor vs SolidWorks

Inventor vs SolidWorks

(OP)
Hi,
Don't want to start a war here.  I have been using SolidWorks for about 3 years.  I recently moved to another company.  They are debating wheather to buy Inventor or SolidWorks.  Inventor is having a promotion which is making it much cheaper than SolidWorks.  I have never used Inventor but have reads quite a bit about it.  If anyone here has used both could you please tell me your thoughts on them.

Thanks.

RE: Inventor vs SolidWorks

All I can really say about the two is that SolidWorks is still ahead of Inventor for features but Inventor is a little nicer for transitioning from AutoCAD drawings. If those areas do not interest you, then go with price. I hope this helps a little.
