Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
I've played around with those parametrics and those is the most awkward way of setting relations I've ever seen in my life.

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
What I think needs to happen is now that's is under the PTC's all powerfull umbrella is there needs to be a module that looks and feels like Pro-E wildfire. Let somebody who's been using parametrics for 20 years do that work.

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
I finally got some head phones from home and watched a couple of those videos. They were helpful. I'm still a bit shakey with this system but I'll get it I'm sure.

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
Excellent... glad to here that. Those Webinars and online demos are excellent first-time learning tools.
What do you still feel shaky with... creating 2D profiles, modifying 3D, making parts and assemblies, etc? Let us know.

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
Well for instance, I've been drawing some parts from prints just for practice the last couple days. I have a machined groove that has one of the corners at 95 deg instead of 90. I tried the whole the draw a rough profile and then modify the 3D but I'm getting some discountinuities in in the left over surface. Also on the 5 deg offset how to I say I want to move that surface but normal to another surface, in this case the opposite side of the groove in question?

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
Maybe attached an image but just thinking about the situation, it sounds like I'd used Move with the position option Pt Dir Pt, along with turning on Keep Tan (tangency control).
To see an image would help us understand the proper feedback that you would need so the software can point you in the right direction - I call this type of software usability, "Inform and Guide".

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
How's your part going? Send some actual model images. Did you try using the 3D Modify command Move for your question above?
And with this statement, "I'm getting some discountinuities...", can you explain that futher - in the model during creation or modification. Keep working it.

Re: Tips for migrating from SolidWorks?
I got it drawn, but I'm work using construction geometry to outline where the cut is and using the overdraw command to get the profile. Not the most efficent way of doing things I would think.
