Mechanical CAD/CAM Software uses minimal system resources.October 8, 2007 -
KeyCreator(TM) v7.0 integrates Direct Dimension-driven Editing function, which lets users utilize parametric editing interface on any solid at any time, promoting use of angular dimensions to rotate faces on solid model. Also included, CKD file format support for inclusion of lightweight 3D copies of solid and surface models helps minimize time and system memory. Software offers various visualization tools as well as sheet metal-specific tools and hatch viewing/editing options.

Kubotek Releases KeyCreator Version 7 for Mechanical Design
Kubotek USA, makers of geometry-based design and engineering software, today announced KeyCreator(TM) 7.0, a new version of its widely used mechanical design and manufacturing CAD/CAM software. KeyCreator 7.0 includes numerous performance improvements and customer-driven productivity enhancements, as well as additional advances in Kubotek's unique direct modeling technology.
KeyCreator 7 expands the capabilities of the breakthrough new Direct Dimension-driven Editing function to allow greater use of angular dimensions to rotate faces on a solid model. Direct Dimension-driven Editing was unveiled by Kubotek in January 2007, and further enhanced in a June release. Direct Dimension-driven Editing allows users to use an intuitive parametric editing interface on any solid at any time. The history-based modeling approach used in most other popular CAD products requires models to be constrained with proprietary sketches and relations during construction before parametric editing can be used.
For improved system performance for users who receive or generate very large design files KeyCreator 7 has increased support for lightweight loading of 3D model data. The Kubotek CKD file format has also been expanded to support inclusion of lightweight 3D copies of solid and surface models. During file loading KeyCreator can now read just the lightweight 3D data and skip over reading the much larger amount of solid/surface data, significantly reducing the time and system memory used to open a large file for review. KeyCreator contains many visualization tools such as cutting planes which allow extensive review of lightweight models.
Several sheet metal specific tools added to version 7 can save users a dramatic amount of time in design and manufacturing engineering of sheet metal parts. Additional user-driven enhancements in detailing include new section view hatch pattern options, hatch editing and moving, an exportable table entity, and batch printing of multiple selected drawing layouts contained within a single design file.
