Overall Satisfaction with SOLIDWORKS
It is being used across the whole organization. Each department has access to it through EPDM and we can access all files each department has created using the shared folder. We use it to 3D model our parts. We also will create an engineering print from each 3D file so that our company has a standard print that they can use to build our parts.
- Great at 3D modeling.
- Great with FEA analysis.
- Formatting has always been an issue for me.
- Creating a mid-plane has always been frustrating.
- Helps us to create efficient and easy to read prints.
- We use to do a model of concept or prototype ideas.
I think it stacks up very well to Inventor. Inventor has some more auto features that make working easier. For example, Inventor has an auto mid-plane function and their hole wizard is easier to use. Other than that, they have a lot of the same features it just a matter of locating and learning where all there features lie.
