Is the main download for Solid Edge 2D Drafting going to be updated? It is still version 2410.0001 and contains bugs which makes the software almost unusable. ... @James557131​ And @JFred​ is referring to the release of the Solid Edge 2026 (2510) "goodwill" editions as they are generally not patched after initial posting so the only way to pick up all the 2025 ...

think with any software its just a matter of "understanding" how it operates. if that makes sense to operate a CAD package and to understand how it operates is 2 very different things. for e.g., i understand if i do this here or that there what the outcome will be in the different design stages. i was very Fortunate to learn the program from a person that understands the program. we Have a guy at my workplace also SW experience no Solid edge , I've been training him, the problem is he understands how SW works and he wants to take that same principles and apply it to SE . see the problem. He is not utilizing the functions that SE has to offer. he always say SE is a shitty program when he works alone, but if i sit with him it is all oooh's and aaaah's ............ BUT end of the day it boils down to personal preference More on reddit.com

IF you're just going to be doing 2D, I would say AutoCAD is the best move you could make. I work at an MEP engineering firm, and we only use SolidWorks for fabrication stuff and the occasional bit of simulation. For all our 2D work, we use straight AutoCAD. For 3D, AutoCAD is certainly capable, but probably not the best choice in the market. I don't know what other industries are using, but in AEC, we mostly use Revit and AutoCAD. Architects can't get enough of that sweet, sweet Revit, so if that's what you want to do, learn Revit. I'm under the impression that a lot of fabrication/manufacturing companies are into SolidWorks.
