Faster?

Faster?

(OP)
We are running Solid Edge ST at work. We mainly deal with sheet metal so I have been using traditional modeling even with the new release. Now that ST2 is comming out I have started using ST to get a handle on the new steering wheel and how it all works together. How the software behaves and such. I normally have a pretty good learning curve. I am not affraid to try new commands and different options. My main problem is that I dont see the "big picture". They claim that ST is so much faster increasing productivity and such but I find that I am making more clicks and more motions. I dont know if its me that is having this problem becuase I am not that familar with the product or if it is just the way it is setup.

Looking to get some good feedback and opinions of some people that have had some good experiences with the software, and some that have had bad experiences. Let me know what the problems are and what some of the kool tricks are if you can.

thanks

RE: Faster?

I'm in the same boat, I'm so used to work with sheet metal or extruded profiles that I don't see the point in using ST instead of the traditionnal mode. I guess is just that I can't give up all the experience I have working with a feature tree and start over from scratch.

I think ST is really at his best when working with imported model or molded parts. But since that ain't the things I have to do, I don't see why I would change my current workflow.
