Cory, 100% of Synergy was designed in SolidWorks. Tens of thousands of part files were required to do the job, not because of complexity/part count, but because of the way complexity grows exponentially over time and with scale.

Knowing this up front helps; for example, we made the decision to keep all master files in the oldest possible format, not allowing them to be replaced with later versions by opening/saving them in newer releases of the software. Once migrated, there's no going back and that can cause huge unexpected pain.

Presently we design and develop airframes, parts, and systems for numerous clients as well. Anyone wanting to gain performance, efficiency, or just go faster is welcome to reach out.

Enjoy your learning curve!
