Deliver
For design and manufacturing engineers delivery means precisely documenting
and communicating the design to a customer, partner, or manufacturing group.
KeyCreator presents all the tools needed to deliver professional drawings,
operations sheets, and NC code efficiently and accurately.
KeyCreator speeds and improves the process of creating, updating, finalizing,
and sharing engineering documentation. Starting with a 3D model, KeyCreator
automates the process of generating drawing views and details saving hours of
work over straight 2D drafting. KeyCreator automatically updates views and
dimensions when the model is changed to eliminate the need for error-prone
detail work. However, when 2D drawings are created from scratch or existing
drawings need maintenance, KeyCreator has the pure 2D drafting horsepower to
get the job done fast.
