2D GEOMETRIC AND DIMENSIONAL CONSTRAINTS
Dimension and constraint tools are now available to manage the geometric relationships between 2D shapes
COMPLETE SET OF 2D DRAFTING TOOLS
Choose from a number of 2D drafting tools including line, arc, curve, circle, ellipse, and spline tools. Access text, dimensioning tools, modifier and transformation tools for easy editing.
TOOL ICON SIZING
You can now modify a tool palette to use larger or smaller icons. Right click on the tool bar header to display a popup menu for “Change Icon Size”. This menu now provides options for 64,32,24 and 16-pixel sized icons. The default icon size is 32x32.
3D SURFACE AND ACIS® SOLID MODELING TOOLS
Quickly model complex 3D objects with advanced design and modification tools. Primitives, complex and advanced surface tools, as well as surface modifiers and transformation tools are included for surface modeling. New ACIS® R26 solid modeling engine allows for the creation of complex 3D objects as well as data crucial for engineers.
LAYER DUPLICATE
A new command to duplicate a layer and all the objects in that layer is now available through Concept Explorer. To access this command, place your cursor over the layer you want to duplicate, right click and select the Duplicate command. If you Duplicate a sub layer, the new duplicated layer is promoted to a first level layer.
PRINTING, PUBLISHING & PDF
Print by Layer when you have multiple sets of data within one file that needs printing, or use the Print Window option to simply drag the mouse over the area you wish to print. Use page layouts to print a design from up to 4 different view angles on a single page, or use new 3D PDF Export to share designs electronically in interactive 3D.
3D PRINTING TOOLS
ViaCAD Pro includes tools to check and prepare a part for 3D Printing including 3D Print Check, Surface Normals Check, Overhang Analysis, Wall Thickness, Preview Slices, Auto Position, Support Structure, Show Printer Volume, and Printer Definitions.
UPDATED ACIS® R26 MODELING KERNEL
Weve updated the ACIS solid modeling engine by two major releases with improvements in the following areas.
