Is there anyone out there using SE? I have been using for about a year now and think it's a good deal. On the TurboCAD products, I learned CAD on TC. I have owned and used from TC9 thru TurboCAD 11 Pro and have nothing but good to say for the programs. As for the support, you never get an answer from them. Other than that it's easy to learn and gives nice results in 3D modeling and rendering.

Yes, I'm using SE :)

How long have you been using SE? And what Version. I've been using SE for about a year now and just love it. I don't believe you could find a better CAD program.

I agree, it's a great program. I'm using V18. I 've been using SE for about 2 1/2 years. I'm looking forward to install V19.

Check out my Photo Gallery.

Nice work :) Do you use SE for rendering?

I draw and render with Solid Edge. I have used several CAD programs, AutoCAD, TurboCAD, SolidWorks, Rhino and a few others but none can perform as well as Solid Edge in my opinion.

how do i see your pictures ??

Go to my "Photo Gallery", you should be able to see them. Let me know if you can't.

I am using SE Ver 17. Its an awesome cad software. I started using it a few months back. I was using Sketchup for most of my modeling but I couldn't save or export the model I made to a 3D model for machining. When I came across SE, it was a godsend. Anyway, learned tru their tutorial and was up and going drawing and modeling the parts soon after. I never thought there was a cad software for 3D modeling that is so easy to learn. I find autocad way to difficult to use. I only know how to draw 2d with autocad. Greats stuff. Is Mastercam as easy as SE? I am trying to learn it as well. SE doesn't produce G Code, does it?

Can't find your gallery.

MasterCAM will work off of the .prt file. It will generate Gcode. As for my pictures you can find them in the Photo Gallery of CNC Zone. I haven't added anything new lately because I've been pretty busy. If you think after a couple of weeks that Solid Edge is great, wait till you get a year or two. It's really amazing what you can do. Sky's the limit.
3-D models in SE are easily intigrated with MasterCAM. They are partners and have been for some time now. Check out their website, lots of info at both. Well, happy 3-D modeling. Later

Hi Jasire,

I am still learning Mastercam as I want to generate G Code with the parts I design. If you can give some tips on say the workflow on how you go about converting the parts to G code, that will be great.

Can't find your gallery.

DID YOU EVER LOCATE MY GALLERY? SORRY I DID NOT ANSWER YOUR RESPONSE SOONER, I HAVE BEEN WORKING A LOT FOR QUITE A WHILE. THOUGHT I WOULD CHECK ON CNC ZONE AND ADD A COUPLE MODELS FROM SOLID EDGE V20. HOW IS YOUR SOLID EDGE USE COMING ALONG? YOU ARE CORRECT WHEN YOU SAID HOW USER FRIENDLY SE IS. HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE. LATER
