More often than not, change is the only constant. And the time it takes to respond to that not-so-surprising change request inevitably involves additional time spent backtracking through your model, doing rework, and sometimes (shudder) restarting. Editing a single part in an assembly wreaks havoc on the relationships created between parts. Matching faces, angles and profiles are driven off of the component you\u2019re editing. Links that you break in your hurry to finish create other issues down the line. \u201cEven small changes may take hours, if you have to open and edit individual parts in a traditional CAD model,\u201d says Ricardo Espinosa, R&D Engineering Services manager at Kimball International, Inc. (Hear more of what he has to say here<\/A>.)<\/P><\/p>\n Those are hours you\u2019d like back, aren\u2019t they? If you\u2019re running a small business, those extra hours can also mean less time for new projects or customers. And that probably makes it even harder to take a vacation.<\/P><\/p>\n But what if last minute change requests didn\u2019t have to mean dealing with red exclamation marks, adding reference geometry, reordering features, or rebuilding parts from scratch? How much more time would you have, how much less stress<\/EM> would you have, if making a last minute change to your model was as simple as, well, just making a change?<\/P><\/p>\n Interested? Take a look at this new video, which demonstrates the power of Solid Edge with synchronous technology when it comes to making late stage changes.<\/P><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/span><\/P>
