MARLBOROUGH, Mass. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — December 2, 2009 — Kubotek USA has officially released KeyCreator Version 9. KeyCreator is a practical, proven and complete 3D direct modeler, and as the recognized pioneer of 3D direct modeling and editing, KeyCreator has the largest and most established installed-base of 3D direct CAD in the world. KeyCreator’s versatility is ideal for conceptualizing solutions and rapid design of the most challenging one-of-a-kind engineering projects.
KeyCreator’s unique approach to 3D direct modeling gives users the freedom they need to be creative, practical and efficient in their design. This no nonsense style to CAD design and productivity uses Direct Dimension Editing to instantly drive changes to the model. Direct Dimension Editing means that model building and editing is done without concern for how the model was created, who created it, and in what order it was created.
The Version 9 release offers current users significant enhancements and performance improvements. For instance, KeyCreator internal updating algorithms have been optimized for Version 9.0 to reduce the time needed to complete a variety of editing operations. This performance improvement results in transform operations that are an average 73% faster.
Other performance metrics show that KeyCreator files open on average 33% faster. Display performance has improved considerably, as well. The display improvements are especially important to overall productivity since they are normally used many times throughout a design session.
Additionally, the Dimension Driven Edit function’s initial selection prompt has been expanded from accepting just dimensions to also allow selection of edges. This supports quickly creating dimensions and driving edits on those faces without having to exit the function to dimension them. Dozens of other new features, performance and productivity improvements were asked for and added into KeyCreator Version 9.
Says Charley Gressett, Senior Project Engineer from RTS Packaging, LLC, “KeyCreator V9 manipulates my largest, fully weighted, assembly models effortlessly. This release stands heads and shoulders above all of Kubotek USA’s previous efforts. A fantastic job. Well done. Your users are going to say thank you very much!”
