3D Modeling Enhancements
Draft Feature
Draft tapers faces using a specified angle on selected faces in the model. Once Draft is applied to a part, a draft feature will appear in the scene browser for reference and editing. Draft can be applied to solid or surface models
Face-Face and Full Round Blend Options
Additional options are available in the Blend Command to help aid in more advance blend types. User can now add Face-Face and Full Round Blend Types to solid or surface models.
Split Face Command
The Split Face Command projects a sketch (2D profile, existing edge, or 3D curve) to selected faces. It divides a selected face into multiple separate faces, enabling you to select each face. The Split Face Command can project onto a solid or surface body.
3D Curve Enhancement
The 3D Curve creation has been enhanced to allow the user to use the TriBall for precise placement of points. Using the TriBall, a user can move to the desired location and place the control point for the 3D Curve to pass through. This allows the user to have a powerful visualization and reference tool to the coordinate system without the need of knowing exact placement points.
Snap Point Control Options for 3D Curve
A new toolbar is available for Snap Point Options when working with the 3D Curve. Users can enable the toolbar which has snap options like Point, Center Point, Intersection, and Midpoint. The Snap Point Options allow the user to reference near the desired option without having to select precisely on the desired location like the current IronCAD Snap. In future releases of IronCAD, the Snap Point Options will extend into other areas like 2D Sketch and 2D Drawings.
Split 3D Curve
New options are available for users to split a 3D Curve using references like other 3D Curves and geometry. This allows users to create extended 3D Curves or use imported curves with the ability to modify the design by splitting the curve to the desired locations. After the split operation, the user can delete the segments no longer needed in the design or use the remaining segments in other commands like surfacing.
Control handles at all point of Splines
Control handles are available on all control points on the 3D Curve Spline. This will allows users additional editing capabilities to control the tangency and magnitude along the spline. In addition, users can right-click on the handles to access alignment control options.
3D Helix Curve Generation
The 3D Curve Command has added the ability to create a 3D Helix. This curve can be used in conjunction with the Sweep command to create custom defined helix path curves. Options are available on the Helix Curve to change its position and Direction
Surface Enhancements
A new surface creation type has been added to create a surface from multiple selected curves. The Patch surface works similar to a Edge Surface, however it can contain any number or edges that define the closed boundary (1 Curve minimum and unlimited Maximum). In addition, the Patch Surface can set tangent or contact settings when selecting existing edges of a surface when being added as an IntelliShape of the surface.
Multiple Part Surface Creation
User are now able to create a single surface shape by selecting multiple faces on different parts when selecting "Create Surface Shape" in the right-click pop-up menu. A pop-up option will appear to allow the user to stitch the selected faces into a single surface. This single surface can be used to create an additional surface or used in Split Part/Split Face operations.
Surface to Curve Fillet
Users can create a surface fillet using a single surface and a curve. The user can control the radius value used between the Surface and the Curve. This fillet creation tool allows users to create fillets when it may not be possible to create fillets through traditional blend or fillet commands.
Curve Fillet on Surface
Users can create a surface fillet using two surface and a curve as the defining fillet edge definition. This allows for more complex fillets on surfaces that may not be possible through a variable fillet command. This command is similar to the Face-Face Blend with Hold Lines.
Sheet Metal Enhancements
IronCAD 7.0 introduced the ability to create conical sheet metal parts. IronCAD 8.0 extends the conical sheet metal to allow users to add stock and bends to the conical sheet metal with the ability to unfold. Punch operations are not supported across the conic and stock connection.
2D Modeling Enhancements
Configuration Based Bill of Material Support
IronCAD drawings now support configuration based bill of material (BOM) tables. Users can create scene files that have multiple configurations used in the drawing layout to denote specific parts or assemblies. The BOM can be created based on the specific configuration along with the Item Bubbles referring to the Configuration Based BOM. This can allow users to have a single file and drawing without external linked files usually needed to represent the various BOM configurations. In addition, the BOM can support suppressed part counts based on the configuration.
Multiple Standard View Supports Multiple Models on Single Sheet
IronCAD drawings can know support multiple standard view sets on a single sheet. This will allow a user to create standard view sets of different parts while maintaining the alignment capability of the standard views.
Perspective General View for Illustration
General View creation has an additional option to allow creation of a Perspective View for Illustration. Once the view is created, users can set the view to Shaded with Textures, Shaded, Facet, or Wireframe Rendering. This view is for illustration, therefor certain annotations and commands cannot be applied to the view.
Overlapping Views Selection Ordering
Selection options have been added to allow the user to select views that overlap. Using the Shape Menu options like Bring to Front, users can send views forward and backwards in the page to allow selection of the desired view.
Allow User to Work With Elements Outside Sheet
With the addition of the Zoom to Cursor and Pan Sheet options added in IronCAD 7 Product Update 2, allowing the user to work with sheet geometry outside the sheet has become a requested item. User now can create the geometry outside the sheet with new camera options to Fit to Extents and the Zoom Options updated to zoom off the sheet.
Detail View of Detail
New capabilities have been added to the Detail View Command to allow the support of Details of Details. This enhancement helps reduce the time creating special views needed to represent desired geometry.
Custom Detail View Areas
The Non-circular Detail View Command has been added to allow users to create details based on a closed boundary defined area. Similar to the Crop View capabilities, a user can create a closed profile using the 2D Drawing Geometry around view geometry to define a detail view.
Additional Text Placement Types for Detail View
Increasing the support for additional drawing standards, the Detail View callouts have been updated to support additional placement standards. User can create a callout using a line connection between the boundary shape and the detail shape to denote the connection.
Hot-Key for Horizontal/Vertical Direction Lock
A Hot-Key has been added in the when moving 2D Geometry or Creating Geometry in 2D or 3D Profile to lock the movement in the Horizontal and Vertical directions. Using the ALT Key, the movement in the drawing will be locked to the horizontal/vertical direction for simple placement control or to aid in drawing creation. In the 2D Drawing, this Hot-Key will work for View Positioning and Annotations as well.
Join / Merge Options for Sheet Curves
New options for sheet curve geometry have been added to help aid in template or geometry creation. Users can create multiple line segments in the drawing and join segments into a single segment group. In addition, users can un-join segments that may have been connected not by desire. This capability allows user to create complex groups of geometry that can move and edit together for needs on the drawing.
View Name and Scale Underline Separator
Standards Support for a underline separator between the View Name and Scale has been added as an option in the View Property page.
Print Options
New options have been added to the Print Dialog (as well as the PDF Export Dialog). Print Range will allow user to specify printing of All Sheets, Current, or a specified range. In addition, options to print with zero-width line display or print view out-of-sync indicators are available for easy access instead of accessing at the sheet property level prior to print.
