KeyCreator V13.5

K2D-KeyToData GmbH announced today the availability of KeyCreators latest version 13.5 in Europe that adds several new features and functions for even more dynamic modeling and editing. The release also includes many customer-driven enhancements for a better user experience.

KeyCreator is always up-to-date regarding its import interfaces. The latest version supports CATIA v5 R25, Creo v3.0, Parasolid v27.0 and SolidWorks v2015. New dynamic 3D sketching capabilities offer KeyCreator users another option to create complex, irregular shapes quickly. With the addition of DynaSketch, users can quickly start with a sketch in either 2D or 3D mode. Shapes can be extruded and values can be changed or added on the fly. DynaSketch is just one of the many dynamic tools in which KeyCreator users can bring their designs to fruition.

Other new dynamic editing tools in this most up-to-date release provide unique flexibility in design creation and editing. Functions like Dynamic Extrude or Dynamic Revolve let users build their model as they move their mouse. This real-time visualization makes for easier design conceptualization.

Additional productivity-minded functionality inside of KeyCreator 2015 includes a brand new text search capability to find a word or string of values within a part and all its associated layouts. This is a very good enhancement for companies handling very large drawings, for example, in the field of shipbuilding.

"In addition to providing our users a depth and breadth of direct editing tools that no one can match, we continue to expand our technology so that people, like contract manufacturers, can easily work with anyone and everyone's files for faster project turnaround time," says Jochen Layer, CEO of K2D. "Why have the expense of maintaining multiple CAD systems when you can have one CAD solution for all your needs."
