<p>*AutoDesk softwares I've seen in job listings</p>

<p>I was thinking about getting this pack, playing around with it, and getting comfortable with the most popular ones. </p>

<p>Additionally, which softwares have you seen are used the most?</p>

<p>Getting comfortable with ONE of those packages takes months of real school work…</p>

3

<p>Auto desk is an evil monopoly. I hate them.</p>

4

<p>I’m sure it takes months of real school work, but I have the time so why not? I’m already learning AutoCAD and SolidWorks. My professor says I catch on fast and the cost is pretty cheap. </p>

<p>Maine, why are they evil?? :eek: </p>

<p>Do you use any CAD software? I’m trying to see what I should learn.</p>

<p>Depends on what your specialty is. My daughter, for example, the architecture student, uses AutoCAD Architecture and will be using Revit. She also has experience with Inventor. Some of the stuff is too specialized (CFD etc, or if you’re into buildings Revit or MEP or what not).</p>

<p>In terms of evil empire etc, I would not complain TOO loudly - by being a monopoly you sort of establish a standard. Not unlike Adobe and PhotoShop. </p>

<p>Check what the license is - if you could keep a copy of everything Student Version for a year or two after graduation it’s not a bad deal at all. When my daughter started AutoCAD in high school they were giving out 14 month licenses and you had to renew.</p>

6

<p>Ok, thank you very much. </p>

<p>I’ll ask them what the license includes. It seems as if you get them for life, but I all check up on the details.</p>

7

<p>I think you get them for life but you can’t use them for actual client work (so you could not use this license to do cad drawing for xyz engineering). You can only use an educational license to become proficient on the software (train yourself).</p>
