KeyCreator's entity management system provides
a unique and exceptionally productive workflow to the conceptual
modeling and part information management processes in KeyCreator.
Modeling with Pure Geometry often uses basic entities such as
lines and arcs as building blocks to create more complex entities such
as surfaces and solids.
Treating entities as equals simplifies the use of the software
allowing a common set of editing and data management functions to be
applied to all types of geometry.
Extensive entity selection features and a sophisticated layering
system including unique sub-level capabilities allow simple,
unstructured mode of building model/construction geometry.
Plan arrangement/fit in the conceptual stage without concern for
the number of separate parts the refined model will include, or which
part each piece of geometry belongs to.
Typical Windows-based CAD systems force each part, detail drawing
and assembly drawing to be stored in a separate file and usually force
these structure decisions to be made at the conceptual stage.
KeyCreator's entity management tools uniquely allow users to sort
geometry by level or attribute during the conceptual stage and define
part relationships and file distribution strategies at a later stage
in the design.
Associative parts and drawings can be split off to a select number
of files or maintained within in a single file.
The associativity between files and associativity of copies of
parts within a file allows automatic propagation of changes in a part
to all assemblies and drawings where that part has been included.
