    Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology software is a groundbreaking
    release delivering a new modeling paradigm that combines the speed and
    flexibility of explicit modeling with the control and predictability
    of parameterized design. It does away with the history tree, you no
    longer have to worry about design intent, and all models from all CAD
    systems are treated equally.

    They have a deal going on where you can replace one seat of Solid
    Works with a seat of Solid Edge Classic with Synchronous Technology

    Regular list price: $ 6,994 total
    Promotional Price: $2,994
    You Save $4,000 !!

    You should actually try reading the SW forums before posting stuff
    like this. Most regulars have seen the video demo. I'm personally
    not impressed with the smoke and mirrors.

    well that could be tempting if you are getting fed up with SW
    pity they didnt post that offer before I paid subs... :eek:)

    If they really believed that SolidEdge is better than Solidworks, they
    would give a free seat of SolidEdge, in exchange for your Solidworks.
    $2,994 is a lot of cash to throw away, if the user finds out, that it
    is worse than Solidworks.
    They would get their money back from subscription, so why the charge?
    Video's mean nothing, if made by the company, give the program to a
    real Solidworks user, (like myself :) and you would get a real
    diagnosis on the validity of the claims.
    Using a program in the real world, with real models, differ emmensely,
    from promotional videos.

  5. I'd say just the opposite about pricing. A couple thousand dollars is worth
    taking but it's no reason to migrate.
    Migrating from SW to another product wouldn't be inexpensive when you
    consider the effort such an undertaking would require.
    Siemens would be well served by a migration tool for SW users and not a
    bunch of marketing hoopla about functionality that products like Catia have
    had for many years. Such migration tools are avaliable for DSS customers
    moving from SW to Catia and well engineered and automated migration tools
    will be the DSS answer to UG's latest push.

    Anyone here seen V6 yet?

    inventor had similarly impressive smoke and mirrors on their routed
    systems... the rest of their program is not at all greased up like
    that

    Id have to get a trial run on SE before I paid that kind of money

    ezzzactly.... this will be very interesting. when inventor 08
    came out it was selling at a premium, within a few months they were
    giving away the 'short version' that was mostly like the full blown
    version... why?

    i found it difficult to learn,

    And what of 3rd party CAM programs & their data that
    were used with SolidWorks?
    Or any other third party software?
    Note that UG needs to be considered too, not just SE.

    In the business of marketing & ads?
    Looks like he had been director of marketing for Dassault Systems
    and is now sort of freelance (in specialty marketing).
    But is he a USER of SE?

    they have a slick demo on autodesk site... basically you pick either
    end of a pipe line, then draw a straight line between, then drag the
    line around corners etc so it looks good... run your other pipes the
    same way, enter non interference flow direction and slope criteria,
    pipe type valves from a menu..and autocad draws it for you. .. and
    alarms any interferences they dont tell you what a pain in the
    ass it is to set all that up and do the usual 3d drawings and
    assemblies.... editing can be nasty.

    Got it, thanks.
    Some of the CAD systems have maximim limits on the "size"
    of what's modeled; probably not a concern in your case.

    Don't know if either SW or SE are much good at routing pipes,
    wires, etc.
    Anybody (except jb)?

    Demand a 16 hour video of those charts so that every time you need to
    countersink a hole you can watch the video again to get the correct
    number from the chart.
