It anyone has been debating is solid edge is worthwhile.....

I have worked with 3D CAD all of my career since I was a teen. I have used solid works, Siemens NX, catia, Autodesk inventor.... And it i am given a choice by whoever my employer is at that moment of time. No matter the project I would always choose solid edge. It is the easiest and quickest. And yet way more powerful than what is first shown at the surface.

I was offered a job by majenta (a former provider of solid edge) too help teach new users solid edge. I never took the job, but have taught many people from apprentices too old hands how too use Solid Edge and for 99% of people I can get them too a respectable level of competence in 3 days....

If you are on the fence about it.... Just do it. Solid Edge is the best mid tier industry software available and blows holes through solid works. And they are offering it you for free. I paid nearly £9000 for the privilege and am happy that at that price i get good value. So if you can get it for free snap their hands clean off their arms.

As some idea too the projects that can be done in this software, I developed tubular race car chassis, bridges and ramps for MOD and Nato, hydraulic pumps... The possibilities are endless.

The only real learning curve is the workflow, but with the right guidance you can get their in days at the most... If your stuck on how too model a particular part feel free too ask.

But this knocks the socks off fusion 360 marks undoubtedly the best software offered too the community at the moment
