What's needed in Solid Edge ??

What's needed in Solid Edge ??

RE: What's needed in Solid Edge ??

(OP)
3D sketches, in Part and Assembly environments, that can comprise lines, arcs and splines, and that can be fully dimensioned and constrained.

2.4GHz Core2 Quad, 4GB RAM,
Quadro FX4600.

Where would we be without sat-nav?

RE: What's needed in Solid Edge ??

I would love to see some enhancements to revision manager.
 Just some simlpe spreadsheet style opertaions. Especially the fill commands.
A more suitable interface similar to a file manager, which would be an awseome assembly/part manager.
 

RE: What's needed in Solid Edge ??

(OP)
Improvements to Assembly Configurations (not view configs).
Instead of having to decide whether the assembly is a Family of Assemblies or Alterternate Position assembly, I would like to be able to just define a new configuration and then decide whether parts are included/excluded or just different position. Sometimes you aren't sure and things change during the design, so to be able to change from one to the other would be an improvement.

Global Variables.

Also, a way to sort the list of components in an assembly, or an easier method of searching (query is handy, but I want something quick... like Ctr+F in firefox).

RE: What's needed in Solid Edge ??

(OP)
Part configurations, each with it's own properties - without having to bother with Families of Parts and separate files.
