Hi all!
In 1 month I'm starting in a new company, I'm going to do essentially the same type of work (stairs, railings, mechanically welded,...) but their tracing software is Topsolid. Are there any of you who have already made the transition between the two softwares? What were the biggest differences you found? Do you have any advice to give me?
Thank you in advance for your answers
Hello
I made a short transition to Topsolid, and for my part I never got hooked. We have 2 BE (following the purchase of the 2nd) and one of the 2 worked under Topsolid.
Since then, the majority of the machines have been rebuilt under SW and the designers have migrated to SW.
In Topsolid's defense, it was at the time when they totally overhauled their sketching mode and our design office was using the old method which was absolutely horrible.
Otherwise for the better, faster opening, of part assemblies or during import stp or other format, faster MEP once the views are installed even on complex assemblies.
For the minuses, the sketches, the impossible modification of a part from an assembly (you have to open the part, modify it...), and ergonomics in general. (much less user-friendly than SW).
Several people from the design office who worked on SW tried the transition, very mixed results for Topsolid.
On the other hand, in the other direction, the people under Topsolid who migrated are rather satisfied with SW apart from some slowness.
Hello
I'm late to the post, but it will all depend on the use actually.
This is just a personal opinion, I've been working on TopSolid for years (and even "helped" to sell it) and the difference will be on the personal machining.
Happy searching,
Johann
