Enhancing 2D/3D hybrid design True Hybrid 2D/3D design tools allow users to mix and match 2D and 3D design elements at will, using 2D representations to efficiently layout new equipment designs before moving to full 3D virtual mock-ups. Solid Edge Version 17further streamlines the workflow to take advantage of existing 3D designs in a 2D layout by quickly capturing 2D representations of complex 3D models. Introducing direct editing Solid Edge Version 17 takes a leap forward in the mainstream CAD market by offering direct editing of complex or imported models without the need to cope with complex history trees, or import features and constraints. Support for massive assemblies Solid Edge’s large assembly capabilities allows engineers to work efficiently with even the most massive assemblies and facilitate the fastest 2D assembly drawing production in its class with new proprietary technology for “simplified assemblies,” all without giving up important detail. Rapid design reviews New XpresReview solution provides fast, effective design collaboration, allowing OEMs and suppliers to share multiple documents and retain associatively to original document More data exchange Solid Edge introduces more data translation capabilities to its portfolio of data migration tools including a new bulk translator for Inventor, CATIA V4 open and save, and a 3rd party ME10 import capability. Improved ease of adoption A new apprentice mode allows new users to quickly become acquainted with Solid Edge with tools to get started faster, guide them through workflows, and cross reference commands with other systems. Transitioning from AutoCAD Evolving to 3D for AutoDesk customers has never been easier, and Solid Edge remains committed to making it as easy as possible with new import and editing capabilities and tools that help AutoDesk users come up to speed fast……
