Description
Enhancing 2D/3D hybrid design
Solid Edge enhances 2D/3D hybrid design by extending the use of virtual components with the ability to create 2D representations from existing 3D components, which can then be used in layouts. This proves to be particularly useful for large machinery designs.

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.

Transitioning from AutoCAD
Evolving to 3D for AutoDesk customers has never been easier, and Solid Edge remains committed
