Auto-cad superb tool to use, but you need a lot of hands on time to become fully proficient.
Catia, absolutely fantastic piece of software but major overkill for most applications.
Of the 3d apps Solid works is the daddy, but I have been using Sketchup for over a year now and its great for making things up very quickly, also for the more involved excerises.
There are a load of other CAD apps out in the market place mostly for very specialist applications Allplan for Architectural work along with caddy. There are also specialist apps for Chip design like L-Edit.
I would choose the most popular application for the area you want to specialize in and just spend as much time as you can completing as many of the online tutorials and tasks as you can. There is no substitute for experience with CAD design.
