This process may be repeated many times during the design process and can affect the overall design productivity. This, however, would require users to change their focus from editing the geometry in the scene to completing the command through accessing the property browser or the resulting menu from a right-click. Normally the option to confirm a command is found in the property browser. This enhancement improves collaborations with these formats, allowing users to work more effectively in the 3D environment as well as in the 2D mechanical environment to modify details while maintaining associations with the corresponding data.įaster Methods to Complete Commands Using Middle Mouseĭuring the design process, users often initiate commands that require them to accept or cancel. All of the references that were previously created will be maintained and updated. If the original Pro/E file is modified by the source application, users can simply right-click on the imported data in the IronCAD applications and select "Update" to incorporate these changes into the design. For example, users can import a Pro/E file and then use it in the design environment where references can be created (constraints or positional dimensions), modified, associated to drawings with annotations, and applied in other operations like coloring. The 2013 release has further extended the compatibility for Pro/E and UG/NX files by creating an associative reference to the imported data. Using the Translator Bundles, users can reuse native formats such as Pro/E (Creo), CATIA, UG/NX, SolidWorks, and Inventor. Please refer to the information below to find details and videos of the major improvements included in the 2013 release.Īssociative Reference for Pro/E and UG/NXĭesign collaboration often involves sharing data with other applications to complete the overall design. This release includes numerous enhancements to the quality of the application and performance of the application. In addition to the general productivity improvements, the development team focused on achieving greater customer satisfaction through continuous improvements of stability, quality, and performance of the application. Furthermore, these streamlined processes bring additional flexibility and capabilities to the design process, breaking tedious tasks down to simple operations. Users will immediately feel the impact of the overall mouse-click reduction and mouse navigation enhancements.

The 2013 release focuses on improving the existing capabilities to streamline the process, which increases the overall productivity for designers and engineers. The revolutionary IronCAD Design Collaboration Suite 2013 "Next Generation" is truly the most productive design tool in the industry today.
