We use a lot of AutoCAD mechanical and Inventor at work doing illustrations for aviation parts manuals, and maintenance manuals. I know what it cost to license ours so I\'m not even going to ask how you\'re playing with it, lol. (Or about how many on the dev team could really afford $3500 software either, because I\'m sure I know the answer). We also use solidworks, and I prefer Autodesk all the way. I\'d probably prefer 3DS Max too, but LW seems to be where I\'m headed. (Unless someone wanted to mail me a copy of 3dsMax 7 or 8, hint hint).
