Does anyone here have experience with #dassault#3DExperience#Solidworks for #Makers? It looks affordable - I was wondering how close it was the “regular” solid works software.
I’d like to have really robust 3D part design software, and all kinds of industries use SolidWorks - if it operates the same way. (Like how the old Photoshop Elements contained 90% of Photoshop for a fraction of the price. If you could use Elements you could use regular Photoshop.)
@lps Ah. Remember that a STEP file is a dumb solid. The feature tree is not retained. That is what makes it a universal format. It effectively gets locked in time when you export. You get a solid that can easily be edited with new features. SolidWorks has a feature recognition tool that tries to recreate a feature tree from a STEP file, but it’s a best guess, and your mileage may vary.
