Geometric Tools
Geometric Tools: Geometric tools encompass a wide range of commands and tools for creating and manipulating geometric shapes, lines, curves, and objects within your CAD drawings. They are fundamental for creating precise and accurate designs
|
Editing Commands
Editing Commands: Editing commands allow you to modify, reshape, and manipulate existing drawing entities. Common editing commands include move, copy, rotate, scale, trim, extend, and fillet, among others
|
Layer Management
Layer Management: Layer management is crucial for organizing drawing elements into logical layers, each with its properties, such as color and line type. This feature helps control visibility, isolate specific elements, and manage drawing complexity
|
|
Dimensioning & Annotation
Dimensioning & Annotation: Dimensioning and annotation tools enable you to add dimensions, text, symbols, and other annotations to your drawings to convey design intent, specifications, and other critical information
|
Blocks and Symbols libraries
Blocks and Symbols Libraries: Blocks and symbols libraries consist of pre-defined, reusable drawing components or symbols. They simplify the insertion of standard or frequently used elements into drawings, promoting consistency and efficiency
|
3D Integration (optional)
3D Integration (optional): While primarily 2D CAD software, optional 3D integration allows you to create and incorporate 3D models into your drawings when needed, enabling a combination of 2D and 3D design elements
|
|
Dynamic Blocks
Dynamic Blocks: Dynamic blocks are enhanced block entities that contain parameters and actions. These allow you to create versatile, customizable components that adapt to various configurations within a drawing
|
Version Control
Version Control: Version control features assist in managing different revisions or versions of a drawing. This helps track changes, compare versions, and revert to previous states when necessary
|
Geometric Constraints
Geometric Constraints: Geometric constraints are rules applied to drawing entities to maintain specific geometric relationships. These constraints help ensure that design elements remain aligned, parallel, perpendicular, or follow other defined criteria
|
|
Customization
Customization: Customization capabilities allow you to tailor the CAD software to your specific needs. This includes customizing the user interface, creating custom commands, and automating repetitive tasks through scripts or macros
|
Plotting and Printing
Plotting and Printing: Plotting and printing tools provide options to configure and print drawings to scale, set up plot styles, and define page layouts for creating hard copies or PDF exports
|
File compatibility
File Compatibility: File compatibility ensures that the CAD software can import and export a wide range of file formats, allowing for seamless collaboration with other CAD systems and adherence to industry standards
|
|
Hatching and Gradients
Hatching and Gradients: Hatching and gradient tools allow you to fill enclosed areas in drawings with patterns, solid fills, or gradients, aiding in the representation of materials, textures, or different conditions
|
Sheet Sets
Sheet Sets: Sheet sets help organize and manage multiple drawing sheets or layouts within a single project. This feature streamlines the creation of drawing sets, ensuring consistency and efficient documentation
|
Parametric Constraints
Parametric Constraints: Parametric constraints enable the establishment and maintenance of relationships between drawing entities. These constraints ensure that design elements adhere to defined parameters and dimensions, preserving design intent
|
|
Collaboration tools
Collaboration Tools: Collaboration tools facilitate teamwork and communication among project stakeholders. They may include features for real-time collaboration, markup and comment sharing, and communication within the CAD environment
|
Cloud Storage Options
Cloud Storage Options: Integration with cloud storage solutions allows you to store, access, and collaborate on CAD drawings and project files in the cloud. This promotes accessibility and data sharing among team members
