The Official CADKEY Page

Welcome to the official CADKEY page and website.

CADKEY was the premier 2D CAD Software system in the 1990’s. It was also the first 3D CAD system to run on a Personal Computer. CADKEY was widely used in all areas of industry and government, so, there are many thousands if not millions of CADKEY files still in use today. In 2003 CADKEY Corporation’s assets were purchased by Kubotek and the name of the software changed to KeyCreator.

KeyCreator Direct CAD is the only professional software which can reliably read, edit and convert all the information contained in CADKEY files. Today, KeyCreator is known for inventing 3D Direct Modeling: history-free modeling for design, engineering and manufacturing professionals. KeyCreator 3D Direct CAD allows for creation and editing of geometry without regard to the order, origin or method of creation of the geometry. KeyCreator’s easy to use CAD software technology uses 3D, wireframe, 2D and surface technology in a single workspace to create read and edit geometry created in nearly all of the most popular CAD programs and standard formats.
