However budget a fair amount of time for this learning process. They will start you out at a basic level and then add more and more complexity to the designs.

The tutorials for both these packages are very throughout and you will learn a lot by working through them. In in addition these are the packages that you will most likely run in to out in the "real world". If as mentioned in a post above you can get a free student version of AutoCad's Inventor, that would be a good starting point for you.īoth of these packages have tutorials that will require you to start doing 2D drafting anyway so you'll learn both 2D and 3D design. Tenliniks.I'd start right in with one of the 3D packages such as AutoCad Inventor or Solidworks.
