Same here with my Mac, as the CAD systems are sh*** for Mac (think VBS and your close)

Inventor is good too though if you're not familiar with CAD stuff, its a wee bit more user friendly IMO
I'd say it is, I just need to unlearn AutoCAD techniques

Solid works is very good. I currently use solid edge and have used many others.

If your getting something cnc'd you wont need to provide them with a modelled thread just tell them the threadform and size and they will sort it out. Modelling threads is a bit of a waste of resources unless its something very special.

Having used solidworks for about a decade, its a awesome big of kit I strugle to use autocrud these days. As AndyBrad said for the thread callout (modelled) depends on what your going to use the model for. On a drawing you wont notice the difference anyhows.

Have fun with it.
