I’d like to hear about the advantages and disadvantages of the Solid Edge method for Family of Parts. I see the theoretical advantages and disadvantages of the concept of “configurations” in SolidWorks, where many versions of a part can be stored within a single file. ![]() This is a topic I want to open up to discussion from both sides of the aisle here, but in particular I’d like to hear from the Edgers. ![]()
