Effective Training has introduced an on-the-job resource for design professionals.

The Digital Design Dictionary is a computer-based reference tool that can be installed on a PC or laptop to provide instant access to explanations of hundreds of engineering design topics.

The software was created by Alex Krulikowski, a design professional with over 30 years of industry experience.

"The dictionary is an exciting new tool that's an indispensable resource for designers, engineers and anyone else involved in product design," he said.

"The software features hundreds of definitions of concepts used in product design and in geometric tolerancing".

Detailed, colorful screens help users visualise important topics.

References to the various ASME standards help in understanding topics in relation to the standards.

Each page displays a term and definition.

Many definitions include graphic illustrations and/or ASME paragraph references.

Terms can be selected from a list and by using the user-friendly search options.

The software runs on Windows 98SE, 2000, ME and XP operating systems.
