RE: solid works v autocad
I agree with the others above. But to just let you know, I work with many different steels, channels, and tubing. We build Large finishing systems and just about everything we build here is welded. I use SW for anything including figuring my 2D problems. SW can be used for that just like AutoCAD can be.
(Earnest if your wondering how to do that just open a new sketch and try it.)
SW is very verstile, if you know what your doing and even if you don't, that's why these NG were created.
I even use SW to make different forms of graphics and logos.
If I were you I would give SW a good run and if you have any questions, post them here. I'm sure someone inculding, myself can help you find the answer. Everyone that I have ever spoke too that used to use AutoCAD, have decided that SW is the better way to go, and my have saved their careers or it started them on a new one. It has definitely changed my career for the better. To let you know I was doing Drafting for many years till I got some SW under my belt. Now I'm doing Research and Development for the company I work for now. Not bad for an Associates degree.
I hope this helps you,
