I can quickly provide customer solutions, with great quality 2D drawings, 3D models, Video fly-throughs, machine animations, stress and displacement analysis and reverse engineering. This software is critical to my business.
Pros
Solid Edge delivers great results quickly and design changes are very simple. The user interface is simple and clean and you do not need to sort through a hundred buttons to find the function you need. The software is great at importing and exporting other CAD formats. The drawing options are very good and quality drafts are produced in very little time. The software is more powerful and stable than some other brands and the support staff in Australia is fantastic.
Cons
The software installation and updates are a big drama and require technical assistance every time. When a new version comes out I need to allow at least a day before I will be operating again.

We are users of Solide Edge ST8 (1 work place license) since 2015. Due to a hard drive crash we need to reinstall the program, but we cannot find the original DVD. We only have the SELicense.dat file
The local distributor said that they cannot give us a copy of Solide Edge ST8 for which we have a license, and we have to buy the latest version.
Pros
All of the features are perfect and we have use it 9 years now without a problem.
Cons
