I've been a SW user since 2001, I really like it.......I am working as a consultant doing 3-d modeling/design and graphics. I have a new project where they are using SolidEdge V17. I've had a chance to get familiar with SE-17 and find it very cool, but damn..........I can do the same stuff with Solidworks! Anyone else been faced with a similar situation? Suggestions? Thanks..........I'm not complaining, really......I mean getting to design cool stuff with either program is a blessing, and I mean that! Cheers, Brad
