    Solid Edge Community Edition

    I haven’t found anything I’ve wanted to do that was grayed out and not available but I don’t do surfaces, lofting etc. as far as I know there is no limit on file size, number of views or anything like that.

    Greetings from NW Oregon, USA.

    I’m a retired (2009) tool designer who spent 40 year designing production tooling for lift trucks. I designed weld fixtures, machining fixtures, a few special purpose machines and a few progressive blanking and form dies. I used Pro/E at work and the student addition at home but have recently...
