Solid Edge Likes & Dislikes

Solid Edge is the most powerfull CAd solution on market, featuring real direct edting.

the quality of models

Every year they make the software more functional and easier to use. They care about user workflows and work hard to remove as many extra steps as possible.

Configuration of the software, adminstrative handling of options and so on.

Sometimes it can get a bit slow if you dont have a powerful computer

Though much improved, we still have some issues with performance and long processing times. Some of the processes for setting up my company customizations for new Solid Edge releases can be tedious. Sometimes it is a little frustrating with the time it takes for Solid Edge to implement software improvement requests.
