Nice job on your computer model. Did you build it yet? FYI, I tried a number of solid modelers over the years and had a subscription to Mechanical Desktop and Inventor as well as SolidWorks. When I wanted to model something though I always seemed to use the SoildiWorks because I found it more user freindly and the dealer was VERY supportive. It became my modeler of choice and I use it pretty much exclusively now. Still retain an AutoCad license for 2D stuff though. I think you'll enjoy using the SolidWorks.
