US NAVY, MARINE DESIGN DEPARTMENTS UPGRADE TO KUBOTEK KEYCREATOR

Marlborough, MA-March 21, 2006 - Kubotek USA, developer of product design and multiCAD interoperability solutions, today announced the company has been notified by the US military that KeyCreator 4.0.2 software has been approved for purchase for all Navy and Marine departments to replace existing CADKEY applications. Any military departments still using CADKEY software as a preferred CAD design solution will have the opportunity to upgrade to KeyCreator - the evolution of CADKEY. Kubotek has also learned that CADKEY 19 and CADKEY 21.5 are scheduled to be retired from use by Navy and Marine departments as early as May 31, 2006.

KeyCreator Upgrade Opportunity
Engineers and designers will be able to read and manipulate CADKEY files directly in KeyCreator. It is the only tool available to accurately read all the data stored in CADKEY while maintaining a familiar design environment. The software also delivers:

• Productivity gains in advanced solids-based design, associative drawing layout and file referencing
• Flexibility to choose part references or level managed assemblies
• Automated sheet metal bending of solids and interference checking of solids
• Direct Feature Editing of solids
• Compatibility with the latest CAD file formats, including AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, Pro/E, UG, Catia and others
