Good morning.
I presented myself this morning in the special section.
I wanted to ask something maybe even banaei. (premitted solidworks license is only on fixed pc at work)
exists a software that allows me to carry out with 3d modeling and then pass it on solidworks? I explain better: practically I would like to carry on with some drawings at home, since solidworks is not at my economic reach I thought of solid edge and here I immediately wondered, if I start a design on solid edge I can convert it on solidworks and vice versa? in case in which file format should I export it?
solid edge I would also use it personally maybe as free lancer later and the basic version costs much less, although, being also for work use my employer is willing (if it goes well) to buy my license himself.

I hope I was clear, thanks to the support

when I collaborated with a salesman, from what I remember, there was no substantial price difference between the two software. some sales have been lost for the reason against what you say. I don't know what the situation is now. I'm telling you six years ago. Maybe if you have a basic package, drafting modeling and asasembly that sw does not have.
then, the two software 'parlano' through neutral files in parasolid format (kernel common to both) then the files you exchange do not have the features.

File>open menu and on the bottom right you will find all extensions openable by solid
then there is the guide http://help.solidworks.com/2018/ita...s.htm?id=493a5ca39f574ebd9a6d56bf8f73dada#pg0

I'm sorry you mean the files you trade don't have the features? practically some changes that I supply from one of the two programs can be that it is not executed in the other software?
 
a neutral format is a file that only contains geometry and not the history of functions.
neutral formats are parasolid, step, acis, iges, stl; the most reliable are in my opinion parasolid and step.
also opening a solidedge file you do not have the history of functions. However, it is possible, after a certain version to open native files of other software maintaining its connection so that by modifying the native file you can update that of solidworks.
write your software version in the profile
 
I wrote the software version in the profile.

However thanks for the clarification being that often most of my work consists in 3d modeling (so send the finished product to the customer/supplier) and put in table 2d the various parts, I think I start using solidedge to use it at home/work.

Thank you very much

see if the company is available to take the floating license, then when you are at home you connect to the corporate license server via vpn. bouncing files between solid edge and solidworks is not a practicable way.
 
yesterday talking to the owner came out that the program is cracked so there is no way to make the cloud license.

Maybe his owner, if by chance he reads the forum, he may not be happy with it.
I do not understand the meaning of this post since it can use solidedge (original hope) both at home and at work.. .

I realized that at work he has swx and, wishing to continue working at home he wanted to take a compatible software at his expense, having identified solid edge as a candidate for this interchange counting on the fact that the basic license of himself is much cheaper than that of swx.

he did not leave company references, software houses use other methods to track unregular installations.
 
I also understood so, but then in post #6 writes that he thinks he starts solidedge both at home and at work:unsure:
 
Maybe he wanted to use it at home and any freelance work his, as he said in the first post.

but if the owner is willing to buy him the solidedge license to use at home, why does not take it directing to his company and avoid future, unpleasant, honest visits?
