Product Features

  • 1024 named layers. Numeric or user defined names are supported. Layer Manager features allows you to setup predefined layer names to organize your data.
  • Multiple levels of undo allows rollback and roll-forward of changes to the design.
  • Multiple text fonts and user defined text fonts to for fully annotating 3D designs.
  • 64 line styles which may be redefined to suit your individual requirements.
  • 3D dimensioning includes leader and balloon notes to fully document designs.
  • Powerful wireframe creation tools imitate 2D design in 3D. Using 3D construction line techniques, wireframe geometry can be quickly and accurately developed.
  • Specialized line editing features lets users edit and prepare 3D wireframe geometry to be used for subsequent surface creation.
  • Compact data file sizes minimizes the need for large volumes of local or network storage.
  • WYSIWYG printing and and full-color plotting to a wide variety of popular plotters and printers.
  • ScriptLINK™ open-system user interface allows for unlimited customization including the programmable hot-keys, cursor strokes, on-screen icons and menus.
  • Comprehensive 3D measuring tools includes properties reporting on single entities or entire design data sets.
  • Capture/Paste makes it simple to move design data from ToolDesigner to Microsoft® Word or other popular word processors to produce engineering documents.
  • Unlimited number of user defined workplanes to facilitate building planar 3D geometry.
  • Unlimited number of user defined 3D viewports in addition to the standard predefined viewports.
  • Direct native output to Prospector™, ExpertCAD™, ExpertCAM™ and CADRA®.
  • Bi-directional IGES and VDA translators are standard.
  • Editing features include mirror, scale, translate, rotate of any entity. Unique Point Edit feature lets you reposition select points within an entity.
  • Powerful global class operations lets you assign characteristics to any set of entities. For example, you can hide, tag, delete, assign layer, set color to any set of entities based on their common characteristics.
  • Basic surface creation tools for planes, spheres, cones and cylinders.
  • Surface filtering feature removes unnecessary control points from over defined surfaces to speed downstream processes like NC programming, data translation and reduces file size.
  • 2D parametric design accelerates repetitive tasks and automates the design of standard parts.
  • Automatic removal of duplicate entities.
  • Windows®-standard installation procedure makes it a snap for anyone to install on a PC.
  • Full range of customer support including toll-free Help Desk, e-mail support, training and custom designed consulting and support.
