Oh, AutoDesk...you have such a way with words. Honestly, I would rather learn to design in OpenSCAD than send AutoDesk a single penny.

Blender is great for 3D modeling, animation, etc. However for CAD work it absolutely sucks. You need to mess around with so many things just to get units right. Not to mention once you have designed something, changing it is really hard.
