My apologies if the images don't have captions and look slightly jumbled. It
is a work in progress.

Please place any comments or questions on Page 2 in this thread.

Be patient, we'll get to the good stuff presently.

 

P.

I am very interested in what you are doing. If you could, when you
make a point about one software can you also reference it on the
other? Such as "SolidWorks planes can be hidden and renamed by simple
Windows functionality" your SE comparison doesn't completely mention
if you can do this or not.

Thanks,

Ken

 

This has been done before, and it failed miserably because it always comes
out biased depending on who controls the information, and this one is off to
a good start because you obviously know nothing about Solid Edge. The
reason that I know this is because there is a context sensitive shortcut
menu that comes up when you right click on the reference plane icons in
pathfinder as well as a command to show parents and children of the
reference plane. This makes most of the information on page 2 of your web
site incorrect. Furthermore, if you need the handicap of having a
coordinate system showing when you are editing your sketches, one can be
easily added to the template which will show the orientation clearly when
in the sketch.

P.S. If you are TRULY interested in a non-biased comparison, you can
forward me your info before you post it so that I can correct your Solid
Edge mistakes.

 

Ken,

When I attempted to RMB on a plane icon I got a circle with a cross in it.
So I am not seeing your context sensitive menu. If you want to send me a
screen shot of what you are talking about including SE version I will
incorporate it with attribution. Just use consult1 as the username for my
domain.

I believe the commands for examining the parents and children are in the
menus, not in the Pathfinder or EdgeBar. Could it be that some of this came
in after SE14?

I appreciate your offer to proof read, but this is a spare time thing and it
takes enough time just to do what I am doing now. I will try to put in
corrections as they are noted and discussed here. I was hoping for a SE
user to chime in so thanks. Unfortunately there is not a comp.cad.solidedge
newsgroup where I can cross post. I may miss something in SW as well so
that offer goes either way.
