I’m Dave, I’ve been working in industry for over 20 years, beginning with AutoCAD, moving to SolidWorks, Solid Edge & Autodesk Inventor.
All of these packages have their quirks, but I can say without hesitation, Solid Edge is my favourite midrange CAD system, by far.



Despite the assurances given by sales people, each time I changed package I felt extremely frustrated and stressed. The timing was never right, the deadlines never allowed for getting to grips with a new CAD package. Often, my employer didn’t even arrange any training on how to use the new package.
It’s difficult to follow best practice when you don’t know what best practice is for your package.
This resulted in:
Not making the most of your CAD package costs you lost time, lower quality of life & unnecessary stress.
You don’t need to learn the hard way, like I did. After going through the difficult transition to a new CAD package, and using Solid Edge since 2017. I can can be your wingman, to help you tackle the challenges you face.

Doing things the right way is actually the easy way. Follow best practice to avoid having to deal with unnecessary issues later in a project.

Get the advice you need, when you need it. You are much more likely to remember something when it is relevant to your current situation.
