The IronCAD team has integrated this application directly within the IronCAD interface making that rich set of tools available to its users. The introduction of a fully integrated version of CAXA Draft sees IronCAD’s existing drawing capabilities extended CAXA is known for its CAXA Draft application that brings a complete and extensive set of draughting tools, working as you would expect from any modern 2D CAD system. While it was perfectly capable of producing production-ready drawings, with all of the annotation and documentation required, the deal with CAXA gave IronCAD a more advanced tool that’s sold very well in the Far East. In previous releases it used some home-brewed technology to build up a drawing environment.

New draughting toolsĪlongside the huge change to how part and assembly geometry can be constructed, this release also sees a change in how IronCAD handles drawing production. And if the sketch/build feature/repeat method is preferred, the two can be mixed and matched within the same design environment. Whichever route is chosen, the user still has the same highly dynamic method of dragging and dropping geometry features, faces and edges that IronCAD mastered some years ago.

This decision depends on the form of the geometry and the experience of the user, but as a rule of thumb, complex shapes lend themselves to a history-based approach (where feature shape may become obscured, meaning editing might be problematic), whereas more prismatic parts, where feature forms are maintained lend themselves to a direct modelling method.

With the introduction of the new history plus feature-based approach, users now have to make a decision when starting work – whether the part lends itself to a feature history based approach, where each action is recorded and available for editing, or is suited to the world of direct modelling. Each is logically ordered and you’ll find that you adapt to the ribbon with ease. Commands are segregated into panels for sketching, features, surfaces, assemblies, visualisation (for display states and rendering), annotation and add-ins. While there are still the IronCAD favourites, such as the catalogues to the right hand side of the screen for standard features, parts, and rendering materials, the system now looks much fresher and more modern.

#IRONCAD FOR SALE WINDOWS#
The first thing that’s noticeable is the adoption of the Windows Ribbon interface scheme. In recent years while it may have been considered one of the minor players, this could be set to change with the Next Generation of the product A new look Alongside this, there’s been an overhaul of the interface and extensive work done to bring greater tools for downstream processes, such as drawing and annotation. While IronCAD has been distinctly non-history-based for years, the next release, entitled IronCAD Next Generation, sees the introduction of a history-based modelling approach for the first time. The irony is that this release sees a new direction for IronCAD. This has lead to increased development resources and funding and the next release looks to bring the company from one of the ‘also rans’ to perhaps achieve a bigger place in the grand scheme of things.
#IRONCAD FOR SALE SOFTWARE#
IronCAD is now part-owned by Chinese software solution power house CAXA and the system has been growing in adoption in the company’s home market. Historically, IronCAD hasn’t seen the mainstream success of other modelling systems – but this has begun to change somewhat in the last few years.

With ACIS and Parasolid under the hood, plus PTC’s GraniteOne technology, the other huge benefit is that IronCAD has a very rich native data translation capability, allowing users to work with geometry from a much wider set of systems and with a much reduced chance of error. If one can’t build the geometry, the chances are the other can. This can bring benefits in problem modelling situations. The use of both ACIS and Parasolid within a single application is still something unique to IronCAD. The fact that IronCAD contains not one, but two modelling kernels has also set it apart. Both use the same dynamic feature editing tools, allowing the drag, drop, snap and positioning of geometry IronCAD Next Generation incorporates history-based modelling alongside direct modelling.
