hi to everyone, after using solidworks for almost two years,
they put me in front of a choice... seen that the external study that collaborates with the company has passed to solidedge and that sw2012 would be to renew and buy the new version, they ask me what I want to do. ..to pass to a new software that would be to be learned with the help of the study, or to continue with sw that I already know but to stay a little alone...then there was the acquisition of another company that uses inventor from which I arrived a compressive to see if sw opened it without errors....though it lost me the constraints... from this solidedge point of view is better?
What choice would you make?
 
no software can switch to other software while keeping constraints.
each program works on its own, put at the table, constraints, functions etc.
already with the same program but different versions you can not open new files with old program.....figure what you say.
files must be passed in neutral step or iges format.
continue to change program does not help anyone.
If you plan serious things, you can not have a chaos of programs. lose all history, changeability, table harvests, the speed of creating new projects on the basis already made.

normally in a reality medialy aware of what it means to work, design and make are well-established things.
 
I thought about it myself, I lose all the boards, and I should do everything I've done twice... I would also want to continue with sw, start again with another software I certainly don't benefit, if I change it is to speak the same language of the external study, but I'm afraid to bend to their internal choice... it's really a choice that I would gladly make to someone else. .

Hi.

I bring you back my experience:
I came from 10 years of swx and changing company I had to study solidedge from 0 with some courses (fundamental) .
At first the passage will be slender or better, you will have to understand how the cad thinks.
Now, after about a year, I'm reassessing my opinion that I initially had on solidedge.
the pros of this last are placed on the table better than swx and the synchronous modeling very useful if you have to edit step and/or files from other platforms always and however in neutral format.
The assemblies unfortunately you will have to give them back if necessary because they will not maintain the relations.
the company where I work and whose use solidedge came from another cad. I am redesigning all parts and assembling. some files recover them precisely with synchronous mode if easy geometry.
for the harvests there is no solution you will have to give them back if you want to maintain the bond.
 
I have to remake everything there really is the risk that curses everyone and that throws the sponge, is very frustrating, to learn a little sw it took time and sacrifices, now I have to start again...my manager said that we keep two computers, one with sw and the other with if, but to me the change seems a huge loss of time and nervous enerie. . Also because you can't keep going with two computers and two cads for years...it would be much better for me to go ahead with sw and continue to deepen that, rather than know little about both...

You're more or less in my own situation. two people 2 different cad. It's a huge loss of resources and mental energy. take into account that then they call you from the shop for a missing quota or anything and you have to remember where the file is a mess.. a change is always problematic for sure. you have to evaluate well.

I would continue with swx, software you already know well.
Having to leave with a new cad would put you in bad light from the point of view of productivity.
at the interchange level between swx and if you arrange quite well working with parasolid files, since both software share this kernel as the heart of the graphic modeling system.
for inventor instead is another story, they use a variant of acis.
 
I ask myself to make a choice, apparently, but the external study has been collaborating for years with the company and not to speak the same language, one that goes in one direction and the other on another seems to me also that one thing unwise...fossi state only I would have continued with sw, to change I will, but also to stay in sw I will take back...
 
I say mine at the cost of seemingly a little polemic.
in the first post you say that the external study has passed from solidworks to solidedge; if it is an external study to which you commission works, it means that you are their customers and they offer you a service; Now they have made a choice, debating about the discomfort that they can give to their own client and, according to you and your superiors, you have to be the ones to adapt?

...

It is as if my butcher suddenly decides to stop selling meat and starts selling only cheeses. but since this ex butcher I like, I stop eating meat and dinner mozzarella and gorgonzola every day.

and I'm lactose intolerant.

If I were you, I would avoid changing my way of life, letting me get my stomachache and find myself another butcher. .
 
You're perfectly right, 100%....but I've been working there for less than two years, I'm still determined at 1250€ per month...I can't take the trouble of deciding myself, I thought about it, but I can't, despite the statements, have been collaborating even in great autonomy...I don't want to do it. . .
 
But you can objectively try to show your thinking with concrete things.
And then... if you don't want to work there anymore... I think there are other far more forward-looking companies and less cellaring....think about it....it is for you.
 
I thank you very much, my thought today exposed it, while avoiding saying the last word.. I'm still not responsible for anything. I think it's a demonstration of wisdom. Like you said, there's not only that company in the world. .
 
I'm just telling you that the good cad is what makes you bill, it was also a 2d of 1995. You have to understand:
1) how much the historian weighs in new design
2) how much of your company's design comes from you and how much from the outside.

If the answer to 1) is little and the answer to 2) is so much, then the solution to your question you already have. I always tell you that the period of adaptation between a cad and the other is much shorter than you can imagine.

If your boss wants to move on to solid edge I would let him do, you well or badly will be able to design with one instrument or another.

I share in full. What do you do? a new change?
Among other things it is strange as the attitude of this ut, they usually have more cads that use depending on the customer, so as not to create problems at the same.

ah for me if he chooses it's okay, but he wants me to choose, which I can't do
