Efficient & Agile CAD Tools for Manufacturing

KeyCreator Pro provides the complete set of KeyCreator commands and maintains the classic pull-down menus, icon palettes, customizable toolbars, and keyboard shortcuts interface.

Quickly build precise models

  • Powerful 3D sketching of shapes such as blocks, cylinders, and curves
  • Build complex shapes by sweep/loft of profiles and edges
  • Use simple unite and subtract/trim techniques to save time
  • Place features and parts from standards library
  • Insert construction planes at any time to position entities and profiles in 3D space exactly where they are needed

Maximize productive re−use of CAD data from anywhere

  • Support available for reading models, PMI and drawings from major MCAD file types including SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, and NX
  • Quickly derive tooling and fixturing models from faces, edges, positions, and planar slices and measurements pulled off the product model
  • Instantly recognize basic features and find geometric patterns of faces and repeated parts
  • Interrogate imported models with a complete set of geometry verification, repair, and measurement functions
  • KeyCreator hybrid modeling approach supports removing problem faces, re-building surfaces, and restoring a water-tight solid

Optimize data structure to the size of the project

  • Organize initial complexity using attributes and levels within a single file to avoid over complicated data management
  • Flexibly link/unlink external files as needed to manage the size of large designs or repeated parts/assemblies
  • Keep associated drawings within the project file or optionally link to separate files

React rapidly to unexpected changes

  • Drag faces/features and entities together along construction axes
  • Intuitively drive face edits using 3D dimensions as temporary constraints
  • Move/remove faces and entities without relying on or complicating previous history

Simplify Programming of Your NC machine

  • Leverage fast generation of 2 to 3 axis and wire EDM toolpaths
  • Store toolpaths like any other entity in your model
  • Set stock area and rapid planes to reduce tool travel times
  • Configure post-processing of toolpaths into G code
  • Export curves as DXF toolpaths for industrial or artwork style cutters
KM-finishing-1

Leverage a complete set of drawing functions

  • Fluently create all types of drawings, views, symbols, and details and completely control scaling, formatting, and automatic updating
  • Manage legacy drawings with traditional 2D drafting techniques such as layering and selection by color and line styles
  • Customize detail settings configurations to support national, corporate, and customer standards
  • Export drawings to PDF or share with the free KeyCreator Viewer

KeyCreator’s flexibility makes it simple for us to come up with a concept and present it to our customers. We can quickly run the design through several iterations, incorporating the customer’s input, as well as our own ideas.

KeyCreator faithfully allows us to import and immediately work on customer files, not just view and dimension them. Being able to work on any file just as if it had been created in KeyCreator saves me lots of time.
