Dimension driven editing is a key new functionality for version 6.0.2.
It allows the user to easily modify a model by simply selecting a standard dimension and changing its value.
The strength and uniqueness of KeyCreator's approach lies in its ability to allow the user to modify model response to dimensional changes on the fly, while not being restricted by model history constraints.

"In the CAD world, most of the time users associate the word 'parametric' to history based modelling, but there is no reason not to think of using parametrics on a B-rep solid" says Luca Cariglia, Executive VP/COO of Kubotek Europe.
"The new functionalities introduced with KeyCreator 6.0.2 clearly demonstrate the expansion of direct geometry editing that has always been one of the fundamentals of our product line".
"Direct dimension editing removes the constraints that history based modelling sets, since the model in KeyCreator can be modified independently of the way the user first created it".
Next to this new functionality, KeyCreator 6.0.2 brings to the user a set of new functions to quickly generate mechanical elements, new drafting functions to accelerate routine and often tedious drafting procedures, and many enhancements to existing functions to improve their usability.
Particular attention has been given to the translator suite to enhance read and write functionality with other CAD file formats.
KeyCreator's translators are being continuously enhanced to support the latest versions of other file formats and to improve translation quality.
For the past several years, KeyCreator's interoperability project has focused on new functions to simplify and heal bodies in order to more easily make imported data usable.
KeyCreator 6.0.2 is delivered with English, German, French, Spanish, Italian and Dutch as supported languages.
Other language versions are available in all European countries through local resellers.
Customers with current software maintenance contracts will shortly see it on the desktop.
