KeyCreator Enhancements
Capabilities provided by Kubotek KeyCreator not found in CADKEY 19
-
New Instance Auto-fit setting allows Layout Instances to always automatically
re-size to fit all geometry shown in the instance when the model is changed or
moved
-
New Instance Margin setting allows specification of a percentage which controls
the amount of space between the outside edge of instance-specific geometry and
the instance border
-
New option for labels allows positioning of the extension line under the text
(compare Digital Cameras note below to Light Bar note below)
-
Detail Callout option to define the scale value used in the label from model,
not instance
-
Detail Callout option to leave the scale note out of Detail Callout labels
-
Full control of arrowhead types in Weld Symbols
-
Animated creation of arcs/circles and lines
-
Animated creation of dimensions
-
Unlimited* number of nodes in a spline
-
Load scanned drawings or images (as OLE entity) and sketch over them
-
Option for automatic arrow direction change during text placement
-
Generic Move function allows movement of label arrow location separate from
text location
-
Advanced dimension associativity options (can totally prevent disassociation)
-
Automatic dimensioning allows user definition of the origin for ordinate and
baseline
-
Automatic dimensioning allows multiple circles of same size to be detailed with
a note (n Places)
-
Automatic dimensioning supports formatting via dimension settings (style) files
-
Horizontal and vertical automatic dimensioning allows maximum size filtering
(in addition to minimum)
-
Midline option added to horizontal and vertical automatic dimensioning
-
Tabs in automatic dimensioning dialog reduce crowding and improve grouping of
controls
-
Automatic centerline creation on circles and arcs
-
Placement of leaders on arcs improved
-
Unlimited* number of layouts in a file
-
Shaded views available in layout mode
-
Single dialog to load, copy, create and delete layouts
-
Same dialog containing all Instance attributes used for create and edit of
Instance
-
Adjust height and width of instance border
-
Pan the view within an instance border
-
Instances can be frozen to prevent pan or scale change
-
Geometry outside of instance border will be hidden (instance clipping)
-
Unique attribute and detail settings for model mode and each layout within a
file
-
Layout creation supports selection of model view number for principle (front)
view and selection of view configuration
-
Layout creation automatically scales, spaces, aligns and places the requested
instances
-
Layout creation supports loading of selected border template file
-
Layout creation supports automatic “modelizing” to break model to
drawing associativity
-
Instance creation allows automatic alignment to primary view, right-click menu
to set primary view
-
Separate round-off settings for angular and linear dimensions
-
Unlimited* number of characters in a note entity
-
Function to convert disk notes to notes
-
Improved, semi-WYSIWYG text editor
-
Access to complete list of special symbols (degree, plus/minus, etc.) from
within text editor
-
Convert note text into lines and arcs
-
Fully integrated dual and basic dimensioning (associative)
-
Text strikethrough
-
Invert text with mirror text property
-
Center and right justification of notes
-
Full support of Windows TrueType fonts
-
Fonts stored by name, not number
-
New angular chain and angular baseline dimension functions
-
Baseline dimensions act as a family like ordinate dimensions
-
Change base value of first ordinal in baseline/oridinate dimension (offset)
-
Quickly align selected linear dimensions
-
Automatically adjust spacing between selected basic linear dimensions
-
Dimension placement and values are now based on construction plane (allowing
true isometric dimensioning)
-
Dimensions can now have different arrowheads at each end (required for directed
dimensions)
-
Open arrowhead style (ISO/JIS support)
-
Open circle arrowhead style
-
Filled triangle stand arrowhead style
-
Prefix and Suffix fields accessible from detail settings dialog
-
Common prefix and suffix text available from pull-down
-
Component attributes settings accessible from detail settings dialog
-
Apply button in Detail Change dialog allows preview of changes
-
Automatic labeling of standard feature holes
-
Custom formatting of standard feature hole labels
-
Compress function flattens all entities and edges to 2D plane and removes
duplicate and overlapping entities
-
Create Line At Angle function supports placement tangent to an arc or circle
-
Circular detail view instances associative to a selected circular region on a
normal instance
-
Special characters inserted into a note allow associative linking to file/part
properties, layout data, and system variables and settings
-
Automatic generation of Bill of Material (BOM) table from selected reference
parts, levels or named composites
-
BOM pulls data from part properties fields, level list fields or database
linked via ODBC
-
Save and load of BOM table configuration (column layout, spacing, justification
and header text)
-
Optionally generate empty BOM table
-
Automatic placement of numbered Balloon detail entities at selected position on
part
-
Function to update Bill of Material with associated data changes
-
Export and post-processing of Bill of Materials data
-
Generate lines and arcs from spline (segment)
-
Option to burst TrueType text into splines
-
QuickHatch option selects crosshatch region boundaries and islands from a
single position
-
Automated re-association of dimensions that were imported or otherwise not
attached to geometry
-
Additional control over arrowhead height and spacing
-
Export automatic dimension hole table data in 3 types of ACSII text or XML file
format
-
Option to increment prefix of circle ID in automatic dimensioning
-
Ability to set minimum spacing for ordinate dimension text before automatic
jogging starts
-
5 new vertical drawing border files included
