I really have to disagree. I would put money on the fact that an
experienced Inventor user could make a frame as quickly if not quicker than
an AutoCAD user could make all three projected drawings. Especially if
he/she used skeletal modeling.
The other advantage is if something changes the update process is simply
"update". Now try changing all those lines in AutoCAD.
My two cents
