I am thinking about moving my personal work to Solid Edge, not really happy with the direction Fusion is taking and don't have access to SolidWorks anymore. They do a Student version that they also give to makers that comes with a permanent licence so I'm thinking about making the jump, but.... this has to be quite a long term thing, I am fed up learning where the buttons are in different CAD programs.
I'm now pretty familiar with NX ( but can't get a second licence for home use ) so I know the synchronous modelling will come in useful, but can you use it as a normal history based parametric CAD program like NX ?
Has anyone got anything good or bad to say about it ?
I am going to be doing simple parts for cameras that I design but I like to model in assemblies and use master sketches and variables for driving my designs to make it easier to model a whole product.
I will be doing lots of woodwork drawings, a bit of sheet metal, some parts for 3D printing and a few machined parts - mostly manually turned but probably the occasional 3+2 part too.
