"Selection Intent Tools Make Workflows Smoother"
5/5
What do you like best about Designcenter?

I really enjoy the selection intent tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designcenter?

The found relations are frustrating. I understand when creating a profile or just placing down lines and arcs that they can be created and that is helpful but if I am asking the software to make 2 lines parallel I should not have to turn on persistent relations as that is not "Found" I am creating that and it should take higher priority Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Commands to be Re-organized. Simplify with User Friendly Dialog Boxes."
3.5/5
What do you like best about Designcenter?

I like the tight integration between CAD and FEM models which totally avoids any kind of exporting and importing needs for conducting FEA analysis. The graphics and its ability to handle large assemblies have improved over the years. And I also love the model cleanup tools where I was able to delete similar sized features all in one click as it detects and selects all the instances automatically once I select the feature. This significantly reduces the preprocessing time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Designcenter?

My last responce on this has not improved yet. Still I have to search for a specific command to access it. For example 'Custom Symbol' command. Commands should not repeat in different workbench. Serious Improvement is need in Command Organization. Sketch tool constraints are too annoying. For example, deleting relations for a curve is a headache..Once I click a curve or line, user should have clear list of constraints on that curve..User should be able delete them easily.

Response from Yolanda Dong of Designcenter

Hari, we understand your concern about the overwhelming number of options and duplicate tools. We'll share your feedback with our product team for further improvement.
