+ | Learning Solid Edge is much tougher than it needs to be because the documentation is very poor, and they plan on you paying a VAR to teach you. Join the Solid Edge newsgroup, a good bunch of people there. However you can only join if you are a customer and your support is paid up. So let's say you wanted to know more about Solid Edge before plunking down 5 grand. You are just out of luck because you can't ask the real power users that hang out in newsgroups. The more you look at this kind of crap the more impressive Rhino' | ||

+ | I have only exported a few things from Rhino to Solid Edge. Individual objects come into Solid Edge as Design Bodies. That means they are like shrink wrapped, no parametric data, and are not adjustable. A few releases ago they added editing of Design Bodies so that you can fillet edges, make holes etc, and use a Design Body as a base that you can add or subtract from. So you are kind of out of luck if you want adjustable parts. | ||

+ | In Solid Edge every part is in a separate file. Solid edge relies heavily on the Windows folder format for keeping track of everything. Every part is ONLY linked into an assembly, unlike Rhino which actually loads a Block definition. The good news is that the assembly files are very small, and the likelihood of losing an entire model is very small. The bad news is that every assembly references your library. In order to send an assembly to a customer you must use Insight to package all the pieces. Then your customer must either keep all the parts separate from his library, or put the parts in the library and relink them. | ||

+ | I would like you to think long and hard about how you organize your parts library. | ||

+ | I have been using Solid Edge for about a year, and studying my ass off to learn more. It has paid off in that I am now in charge of solid Edge administration at our company, despite the fact that the original user has | ||
