By the way, autoCAD for the most part is not 3d, and what little is 3d is nothing like solidworks or the others. IT is not made for 3d modeling. Autodesk 3d modeling program is called inventor. I've not used it but i hear it is pretty amazing. There are a couple of other autodesk programs for 3d modeling, but i think inventor is what you are looking for.

If you are serious about what you have to do, i would really look into solidworks or inventor.

I love Inventor so much but when it came time to use Solidworks I couldn't get anything done because I learned all the shortcuts in Inventor and they didn't work in Solidworks...

BTW get Inventor

If you want to spend a few grand, buy OneCNC. It's by far the best Cad program out there. My dad has brought two copies of it for his company and it's awesome!!

Yeah, I'm just trying to get used to it at the moment, but I'm sure it's more fun when you get good with it. The power of it is very apparent though on first glance.

No, I wish I had though.

It's actually a birds-eye 'blueprint' of the BAE harrier II 'jump jet' - I've been quite interested in them recently.
