Hi. I've been looking at both Inventor and SolidWorks as replacements for Mechanical Desktop (what we currently use). I just opened my eyes to Solid Edge and so far I like what I see.
We'd probably use the software in sort of a hybrid 2D/3D way... most stuff we do would be in 3D, but some of it would stay 2D (no want or need for it to be 3D--flat stuff).
Do you think that Solid Edge is more suited to 2D than IV and SWX are? I've extensively evaluated both, and although you can work in 2D in both, it's not very easy to do. SE seems to have better tools to do so, but I haven't used it yet. What do you all think? I've read about some improvements in V16 that may make this even better.
Your comments/questions are appreciated. Thanks!
Brian
