Help ! New CLient uses Solidedge

Yes, SE does have an add-on package similar to FeatureWorks. They have had
it in SE for many years. I believe, as of v18, it now comes standard and is
no longer an extra users have to pay for.

 

Actually, SW is just the AutoCAD of 3D. They did a phenomenal job marketing
and grabbed a huge market share early on. SE is not dead, nor is IV or
Alibre or WildFire, or any other. They are all still mainstream. They just
don't have the market share of SW nor do they have their name plastered in
as many places as SW does. I can't believe how many abstract trade journals
I see SW ads. Some of them don't even apply to MCAD software, yet SW is
there.

And by the way, I have many clients that use SE and Alibre. I have only 1
right now that uses SW. And I have another client who was doing a "hunt"
for the right MCAD package and SW was last on his list. Short of sounding
like JB, VX was actually number 1 - which if you filter JB out of your
newsreader and actually test the package, it isn't all that bad. I was
pleasantly surprised.

 

if you filter JB

Wonder how jb's SW honeymoon is going? hahahahaaa

 

The only point that they might want to consider is the drawing side.
Even several versions back SE just seemed to make better drawings. I
have never done anything as complex as in SW but what I did do seemed
to go easier in SE.
