KeyCreator provides traditional 2D CAD drawing tools for creating and editing engineering drawings. A complete set of dimensions, details, and symbols support mechanial drawing standards from around the world.
Create precise profiles and curves that are used for defining part shape. KeyCreator provides unparalleled power in quickly extracting shapes from existing geometry onto construction planes in 3D space exactly where they are needed.
A powerful set of mechanical detailing capabilities includes GD&T, surface texture, and welding symbols, customizable style settings, and user-defined hatch patterns. Layouts provide full support for quick drawing creation from imported solids.
KeyCreator's unique CKD file format is flexible enough to allow parts, assemblies and their associated drawings to be contained either within the same file or in different files. The user can adopt the file management scheme that best suits their requirements.
KeyCreator provides the option to nest layers in a multi-level approach. This method enables a far superior data management process, in which component or features groups can be simply grouped in a folder-like structure.
Generate standard mechanical elements, structural elements, and fasteners based on industry standard sizes, fits, and functions.
Calculate the volume, center of mass, moments of inertia, etc. of bodies and assemblies.
Extract level, color, entity type and other information from an entity aiding in the geometry identification, editing and management process. Useful for imported, non-native geometry identification and handling.
Calculate the area and centroid of a closed chain of curves or edges.
Measure distance between two positions, curves, or faces, or minimum and maximum distances between entities.
Calculate the distance deviations between various types of entities.
Yields the entity count and types of entities contained in a given file. Useful for imported, non-native geometry identification and handling.
Find intersecting areas on assembled models and graphically display those intersections.
Perform a draft angle or mold extraction analysis on a model based on a defined draw direction.
