Anyone using the Free 2D to draw diagrams?
(OP)
Hi!
I'm already using solid edge extensively for our equipment, and now I'm in the process of evaluating the use of the free 2D to build the electrical diagrams. The thing is that we have two licenses for the design and the drafting of those equipment in the engineering department and the electrical programming is done in the automation department and they don't have any license of SE. That's were the free 2D comes in and I think that it would be a nice replacement to AutoCad and Visio.
My first question is are there any user who are using the free 2D for diagrams and what are your likes and dislikes so far?
I went through the tutorials and I think that SE will work fine excempt that I don't find an option to create a part list of all the symbols inserted into the drawing. Is it possible? if not it's really disappointing because it would justify all the trouble of drawing it all.
thanks
Patrick

there is no parts list neither for Blocks nor for Symbols, this
is also true for the full version of SE

Do you know if it's on their to do list? I think it would make for a very good enhancement!
Thanks

Or, would virtual assemblies be of any use, again requiring full SE though?
