KeyCreator Reviews & Product Details

If adaptability is key to how you use CAD, KeyCreator is for you! KeyCreator's robust translators can open files from most leading MCAD platforms and export to the standard formats you need. Unlike parametric-based modelers, KeyCreator employs direct modeling so you can respond to unplanned design variations on the fly — never rebuild a model over one minor change again! Drafting functionality dynamically updates drawings with any changes made to the 3D model, while the flexibility to link/unlink data simplifies the handling of complex assemblies. Work faster, work smarter, work with models from virtually any source: work with KeyCreator, fast & flexible Windows-based CAD.
