Getting in-synch
This is the headline for an article written by David Chadwick and published in the May/June 2008 edition of the CAD User magazine.
David was at a recent UK Press Day arranged by Siemens PLM Software so has seen Solid Edge with Synchronous Technology first hand.
The article summarises the key features of Synchronous Technology and conveys some of the many benefits of the technology.
I particularly like the example of a part with 950 features. If this is edited using traditional parametric methods it takes 63 seconds to complete. With Synchronous Technology it takes 1.5 seconds, yes one and a half seconds.
Unfortunately at this time there is no electronic version of the article that you can view on the CAD User website. I’m sure there will be a copy posted soon.
I will update this post with a link to the full article as soon as I can.
David’s closing comments are “Synchronous Technology will be rolled out in the summer of 2008 in both NX and Solid Edge. Can’t wait!”
Bill many thanks for your thoughts. I agree with you many of the recommendations could apply to other software.

Why pick on Solid Ege ST4? You could have used a fill-in-the-blank form for this article. All of your recommendations ...
Thank you for the tutorial, it was very informative. I will be incorporating ST in my future modeling. I looks ...
I have used Solid Edge for 4 years and ST has made it faster to learn and easier to complete ...
Thanks for a great post John!

I had to replace around 15k drawings with a new template. Thank you to Ingenea for the Border Control application.

Can you bring in a autocad .DWG file into Solid Edge as a sketch for a part?
I can do this ...
thank you very much for preparing a useful tool...
