Having worked on Solidworks for 7+ years I had entered a comfort zone where I was hesitant to try out any other CAD tool for designing. But hearing a lot from my colleagues about the capabilities of DassautSystemes cloud based app xdesign intrigued me and I took it up as a challenge to design a Cordless Electric Drill in xdesign and then render it in VisualizeConnected..

I have to admit that getting accustomed to xdesign was not tough at all as majority of the options felt very familiar to SOLIDWORKS. It had all the features necessary for me to complete my design. (For few features like word wrap I had to rely on #SOLIDWORKS). Once done with my design I rendered the assembly in Visualize Connected and was impressed with the results.
