Solid Edge Terminology

Works users, what is it about Solid Edge that you would like to know? I’ve been putting together a list of equivalent terms, and I need to keep expanding it.

For example, Works and Edge both use the terms sketch, profile and region, but in different ways in some cases. I never looked at the way Works uses those terms as confusing, but I guess it might be, especially if you take the terminology seriously.

Mates have some funny connotations in Edge, and Relate or Relations might mean different things.

Inter-part is like in-context.

SW Configuration is like family of parts/family of assemblies and simplified representation

SW display state is like SE display configuration

SW Lightweight is like SE Active

SE’s “ERA” is “Explode Render and Animate”, as a separate environment. In SW explode is part of the Configuration interface, Render is Photo

What terminology or equivalence things make you scratch your head?
