What's wrong with it? I like it. Autodesk makes great software. Top of the line!

he's probably referring to just the actual way the program is. I can't really put words to it but it really annoys me too.

it's a good program but for people like us I think it's not really ideal.

It annoyed me too.... The learning curve is steep.

Download a good e-book on the subject. Makes it much easier(and read the help, it has lessons). I don't think Autodesk makes any program that doesn't require a thick manual.

I dont like it because of how boring it is. I cant stand sitting at the computer drawing stuff up.

solidworks or proE would work great.
