Everybody's Talkin' 'bout It

The Direct Editing demo video from Siemens. Watch it here; http://www.cadjunky.com/watch/44857204

Their claim that it's 100X faster is out there alright. I'm withholding my opinion on that for now.

I've read that the new Siemens (that's just a terrible name to say out loud) function adds a new 'direct edit feature' to the Feature Tree. If so, what's the advantage?

As a SolidWorks user since 1999, I have no complaints against history based parametric modeling. I've had many successes using SW and so have many others. I dabbled with 'direct editing' when I did a few design jobs for Hewlett-Packard using Co-Create One Space Solid Designer (what a mouthful!). I hated Co-Create, even after training and using it for 6 months.

That's my take, what's yours?
