Schematic diagrams are one of the purely 2D functions that make Solid Edge such a full-featured CAD program. There are a lot of people who use one program for 3D and another one for 2D. With Solid Ed…
Ok, we’re finally going to get to talk about drawings, or “draft” as you all say in this neck of the woods. For those of you who don’t use Synchronous, and I know that’s a fair number, you get a litt…

Those of you that follow me on twitter or Google + likely know I have a few home projects running around 3D printing. Many of you have high end Stratasys or 3D Systems machi…
