Is solid edge comparable, better or worse than SW?

Thanks! I will be looking them up.

I got the SE v20 disc and basics traiing package last evening...
havent loaded SE yet.

the basics traiining package is 5/16" thick, thick white 120# paper,
30 or 40 pages. You draw a garage door side rail bearing and bracket
assembly. big print, big simple illustrations... about 50% white
space. The intro says it takes about an hour to get done.

it will take me a bit longer Im sure. But its easily a tenth or
less as complex as IV... and may be simpler than SW ... doing
registration on the software looked complex though. .. thats next.
then I will give it a road test to see of its as easy as it looks.

there are 25 other tutorials on the CD apparently.. if they are as
clean as this sample I will be real happy with it.

The equipment skid Im building looks really good to me, but all I see
are the flaws.. my client and staff though run out to the shop every
20 minutes to admire it... they want to know how come it looks so
good. (I kept all the pipe on the same plane and its dead nuts level
and perfectly parallel etc, creates a neat effect.. then I put the
feed lines and controls in smaller pipe on a second plane.. next we
will polish the copper and brass and clear coat it for photo's and
close ups under bright light. its a hell of a piece. 8' x 6' x 5'
tall. frame is grey painted 6" H beam and plate. I did them a new
logo we will have lazer cut in stainless and gloood to the control
panel.

I was so happy with SE's basics manual Im gonna post a separate thread
on progress... I have my current skid equipment project at a hold
point for 10 days.... so i drove the motorhome to the coast (Moro bay
and north) so i can study for 10 days in silence listening to the
surf, Johnny Cash, Sai, Pink, Da Plattah's, an ....Lil Darlin.

This is actually rather scary.
The docs for CADDS IV took up about three 4 foot long shelves
IIRC.
The manuals for UG's API programming alone weighed
almost 50 pounds and the user manuals were more IIRC.

 

Nah... just a lot of really nasty flat tracking accidents and some
unfortunate encounters with government... it takes a toll.
