Works well enough for what I use it for...I would even argue it's better for simple designs than either of those more feature rich programs simply because of the ease of use. I remember AutoCad having a million functions I had no idea how to use and it could be somewhat overwhelming. Sometimes less is more...

you would be amazed at how much faster you can draw in inventor and SolidWorks. those features really speed things up.
