Dynamic Entity Highlighting
Selecting elements in the Level Tree displays where they can be found on the model, enabling users to quickly understand a complex model's construction
Dynamic Entity Highlighting, cont.
Zoom to Entities
From the Level Tree window, the user can access the "Zoom to Entities" function from the context menu. This will bring the entities on the selected level to the foreground of the viewport.
Walk to Entities
This function enables the user to advance the "Zoom to Entities" highlight sequentially to each entity within a selected level/sub-level. It has never been easier to assess how a model is organized.
Find From Viewport
With this function of Dynamic Entity Highlighting, the user can select an entity in the Viewport to reveal its location in the Level Tree. The function automatically expands sub-levels to give users complete clarity of the entity's level name and number.
Other Productivity Improvements
Hide All Except
An additional level-based productivity enhancement added to KeyCreator 2026 is the "Hide All Except" function, under the "View" menu. Users can quickly isolate an entity within a model or assembly to more easily visualize geometry.
Edit Entity Name
From attributes pages, users can now assign names to specific entities to distinguish between those with similar / identical geometry that might repeat within a model or assembly. Entity names are visible in the Tool Tip hover.
Hole Table Layout Flexibility
The Hole Table function has been enhanced to separate a hole table into sections. This can be useful if the default table layout exceeds paper size or otherwise interferes with effective drawing construction.
Arc Dimensioning Options
A new Chain Arc Length Dimension has been added for greater flexibility in dimensioning arcs and splines. Users can create a series of dimensions for a given arc or spline. This function also allows the users to display the linear measurement along the arc/spline between two selected locations.
There are four options for how the dimensions can be displayed (listed clockwise from upper left): Circular plus radius, Circular plus arrow, Circular ANSI, and Radial
Thumbnails in Tree Window
When accessing parts and drawings from the Tree Window, users can use a RMB context menu to get a preview. This can simplify the search for a specific model, sheet, or drawing within crowded CKD files.
