I love working in Solidworks, but I’m pretty spoiled in that I’ve had access to it through school or work for the past many years. I use it to plan out more complex laser cut projects (check out what I’m currently working on here http://aeva.io/category/constellation/) though it is definitely overkill for simple 2D work. If you ever decide to get more into CAD/CAM work professionally, Solidworks is pretty widely used and a very employable skill!
