Migrating from ProE

Migrating from ProE

Migrating from ProE

(OP)
I have a good offer from Solid Edge to supply licence + technical suppport for 1000 euro for first time users, usually around 7000 euro. I have used ProE for a few years and I am considering migrating for a new employer.

Any oppinions?

RE: Migrating from ProE

I thought ProE was the bomb until I learned how to use Solid Edge.  Can't stand that menu driven interface now.  Solid Edge is much friendlier to use and you can use it to establish a managed workflow as well.  It has really great sheet metal tools too.

RE: Migrating from ProE

Purely personal opinion, but Solid Edge was the easiest software package for me to learn.  It also happens to have the workflow that matches the way I think.  (Tell the program your end item goal -- a protrusion; and it tells you the steps you need to take to get their -- plane, sketch, protruded distance.  This workflow, as opposed to creating a plane, creating a sketch on that plane, then using that sketch to create a feature only to have the feature tell you that your sketch doesn't meet its requirements after the fact.)
