It can only make me a more marketable designer. They're not the endgame, there the means to create our designs, drawings, and help us build our products.Īnd there's nothing wrong with learning a new set of tools. So I suppose the point of my writing this is to muse about how CAD programs are tools. I think that's going to take me further in the long run. In the end, I see it as an opportunity to learn a new skill, enrichen myself, and be more marketable in a competitive world. There's functions where I think Inventor has it down better, and others where I have to give it to Solidworks. But they both add and remove material in the end. Sure, Solidworks has an Extrude and and Extrude Cut button, while Inventor has the same options combined within one Extrude command. I left that training and thought, "Wow! They're really similar." After that, we were released upon the world.Īnd what did I find? Were my eyes opened to a brand new world? Was Solidworks so much better that I wondered what I was missing?ĭid I wail and gnash my teeth because Inventor was far better and I was being forced to use this inferior product?
I completed an abridged "transfer training", where we were shown where all the buttons were and how Solidworks ticks. Other than dabbling in it a few times, I've never touched Solidworks. Siemens NX, while a good program, wasn't the right program for the needs of my employer.Ī few months ago, my company announced that we would be going to Solidworks.
A couple of years ago, my company decided to experiment with switching to Siemens NX.
