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.
 
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.
