    One of the standout features of Solid Edge is its synchronous technology, which allows users to make changes to their designs easily and intuitively. This flexibility is a significant advantage, particularly when dealing with complex projects that may require frequent modifications. The ability to edit designs without the need for complex pre-planning or history-based editing streamlines the design process and enhances overall efficiency.

    In the latest releases performance in many areas where increased and those who work with large assemblies will highly benefit from it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    Initially, I started working on this software during my college time. At that time, I used the free (student) version of the solid edge software. I found that the user interface of this software is quite engaging so that we can easily make 2D drawings and 3D models. Along with drawing and modeling, this software is also capable of doing computer-aided engineering of the models. So, this tool is helpful for the initial product development phase.

    Poor UI, lots of bugs, not give confidence in work while using, Complicated commands, still using old technology in some command, lots of good productive features are already provided by competitor companies from last 10 yrs but still SE not provided those features, looks like it is 15 yrs old software and still in every new version it only updated very little, lots of advance features are still missing compare to other softwares, Some commands are high time consuming, Mates are very difficult to edit, delete and again mating is easy compare to edit. I found lots of improvements in SE compare to others CAD software, No VBA, you have to depend on other coding platforms.Smart Dimension are not "Smart". Lots of Maintenance Packs comes in year, that shows software is under development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    In our organization total 2 departments are using solid edge, Process and Design. We are using solid edge for general-purpose CAD and for drawing and designing. The main purpose of using Solid edge is to design gauges and tools. We are managing more than 400 types of fixtures. Sometimes we have to make changes in design and need to analyze it through drawings. We also need to update drawings based on customer requirements. Sometimes we are using for creating gauges and fixtures of new product development. We have to perform Design for Manufacturing of new models and need to take look at the assembly of the machine to see if there are any diddictulty in operations. Sometimes design need to produce special models of products in that case we have to help them designing die and manufacturing tools for supplier.
    It has very good user interface in classic or ordered environment. In 2D or drafting, you can give any Geometric tolerancing and symbols to any dimension. There is a wide range of options available. You can convert any files in step file (.stp) and can open it in other designing applications easily. After converting 3D drawings in 2D you can make changes in 2D drawing by converting it in the draft. You can also add details like cross-sections and detailed view. You can directly make threads without creating holes.

    Solid Edge is an engineering software [that] provides a great plate form of 3-D designing. In our organization, new products are developed through CAD CAM analysis and this plays a vital role to produce the prototypes for analysis, coding conversation with the CNC and running MATLAB. This software is easy to use and provide[s] a great online support for any issues if generate[d] within the system.
    It is a powerful tool for 3-D model base design Customized step by step files of design Easy sketch pad

    Overall: Just being honest with ST3 version, there was just to many bugs. It cant process to many features or large assemblies. This caused so much lagging. I once waited 10 minutes just to turn a DFT file into a pdf because I wanted color. I shouldnt have to choose between color and time. Just my opinion. I wouldnt be to proud of using this software year.
