Organized and efficient CAD management
What do you like best about the product?
I mainly use it for organizing and managing all my CAD files in one single location. The interface is pretty simple, so I don’t have to waste time looking for designs or components. I also like how fast it is to preview and drag parts into new assemblies without having to open multiple windows.
One more thing that is very positive is the integration with Solid Edge, which keeps everything synced and also lessens the chance of errors. The search tool is a great help even when you have large projects, so I can find the part or drawing I need in a very short time. I am also fond of the feature that allows me to take off parts from the old projects, and thus the design work is getting quicker.
Sharing designs with colleagues is a breeze, and version control is there to help you avoid getting mixed up. In general, it helps a lot in making the whole process of designing and managing complex assemblies a lot smoother and more efficient.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is a single thing I don’t like, which is the feeling of slowness when it loads huge assemblies or files.Not all features are very intuitive, and it takes quite a while to understand all the options.The interface could be a little more modern, as some of the menus seem to be old-fashioned.If you don’t have the same version of the software, it can be difficult to collaborate with external users.At times, searching for files brings up too many results, and that can be quite annoying.It is not very comfortable to change certain components or settings because the customization is not very flexible.The documentation is good, but it doesn’t always present the most practical, real-world examples.Nonetheless, it still does the trick of design management way better than if you were to handle the files manually.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Designcenter is the tool with which i can address the issue of large cad libraries which are most of the time difficult to manage in an efficient manner.
It was a very difficult task to search for parts or drawings among multiple folders and this task was also very time-consuming. Now I can organize and access everything very quickly, thus I am saved of hours of work weekly. Besides that, it is also Diminishing of Errors by keeping versions synchronized, thus I am not doing the mistake of using an article or component which is already out of date.
The feature which permits the designers to use the same parts speeds up the design process and also raises the level of agreement between different projects. The way of communication with colleagues has been simplified since everyone uses the same library. Another advantage, In fact, is the enhanced recording of the stages of the project - I always know which components are used where.
In summary, it is a tool that makes design work faster, more organized, and less stressful.

Outstanding Synchronous Tech and Seamless Integration Boost Productivity
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most is definitely the synchronous technology. This feature truly sets the software apart, as its ease of use is outstanding. When a customer sends me a neutral file, such as an STP, I don't have to spend hours rebuilding features from scratch. Instead, I can simply drag and pull faces as if I'm using a direct modeling tool, but with the added intelligence of a feature tree. This efficiency means I use the software frequently, as it saves me a significant amount of time. The range of features for handling large assemblies is also impressive. It manages massive projects smoothly, without any slowdown, which is crucial for my production workflow. Integration with our PDM system and the Designcenter is seamless, making it easy to implement new projects. Managing revisions and Bills of Material is straightforward, so we don't have to struggle with the software, which greatly benefits team collaboration. Additionally, customer support is always knowledgeable and responsive. They understand the intricacies of synchronous modeling, which is invaluable when I encounter complex issues. Overall, it's a highly reliable platform, and that's why I rely on it throughout my workday.
What do you dislike about the product?
The data management features are useful and essential, but they do introduce some friction. Occasionally, when I'm checking out a part, the process can be slow or even get locked up if another user is involved. It's clear that this is a database issue, but when I'm trying to complete a drawing quickly, these slowdowns become quite frustrating. I really wish the PDM aspect was faster and more seamless, though I understand that's often the trade off for having proper revision control.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main issue this software addresses is the struggle engineers face when changes are needed. For me, that's always been the most frustrating part, when a client requests a revision and the feature tree becomes a mess, especially with imported data or older models. That's when I feel like giving up. Solid Edge solves this with its synchronous technology. It really feels like having a magic button for editing. I can simply grab a face and move it as needed. Being able to work on files from any system is amazing. This capability is a game changer. I'm saving a significant amount of time on revisions, which helps me meet my deadlines. That's the biggest advantage for me.
