  10. Impressive Depth • Drafting/sketching, entity management • Wireframe modeling, solid conversion • Associative drawing, detailing • Freeform solid, surface modeling • Importing, body healing • Local/hybrid editing • Parametric solid modeling • Associative file linking

  11. Parametrics • Define solids by feature dimensions • Drag & drop tree list, sketch mode • Double-click dimension and entity editing • Convert legacy data, auto-constrain • Partially constrained sketches, freeform solid features • Cursor menu, icon and custom keyboard interfaces • Maintain part to drawing association through edits

  12. Next Generation • New foundation • Extendable object-oriented hybrid database • Smaller files, faster loads, complete undo/redo • Linked files, unlimited levels, sublevels • High performance graphics, lightweight parts • Standard Windows controls • Maintain classic functionality • Improved dimensioning productivity

  13. Product Benefits • Interoperability • Foundation in pure geometry is excellent for interchange with other systems, all geometry behaves natively, wealth of translators included • Flexibility and depth • Hybrid architecture includes solid, surface, and wireframe modeling, associative drawing and detailing, traditional drafting tools and extensive customization capabilities • Practical • Affordable and modular products and upgrades allow users to match their needs to the appropriate product and maintain their investment • Established • First 3D CAD system for the PC, over 270,000 copies sold, partner products available for machining, reverse engineering, mold design, analysis, and data management • Ease of use • Award winning interface, consistent praise of menu structure as logical, compressed, easy to learn and remember
