Did you see the new structure part example tutorials on IronCAD.Academy? These videos are a great tutorial to learn about IronCAD’s different design capabilities. For users that are familiar traditional CAD systems, structured part mode can offer a familiar user experience, with the benefit of having IronCAD’s other industry leading features. On top of this flexibility, IronCAD can cover those cases where you may want to use multiple bodies and more of a rigid approach to your part design. This is just another way IronCAD offers users the choice how to design each part based on your design needs (and not forced one way or another). Check out the tutorial for an example. Note: In order to work in structured part mode, you will have to add the structured part tool bar to your ribbon bar by right clicking an empty space in your ribbon bar and selecting the option to Customize Ribbon bar and add the structured parts toolbar to the ribbon. https://ironcad.academy/tutorial/structured-part-example-1-single-wall-tray-with-a-flat-top-and-a-recessed-top

IronCAD has a structured BOM mode that allows users to collapse or show specific portions of their scene tree on command. When creating a BOM in ICD, ensure that you select the structured mode in the bill of Materials Style: When editing the BOM, you will now see an additional column present on the left side that contains + and – that will expand or collapse your BOM. When you press apply, the BOM will apply your changes and display the BOM as shown in the Edit menu without the +/- column. Note that Item Bubbles will follow the structured bom item numbers. Additionally, there is an option to expand the Structured BOM at creation by going to the BOM Style options and ensure that the “Expand Structured Bom at creation” is on. structuredbom.mp4

Did you know that IronCAD Bulk View creation tool can automatically add dimensions to your views when they are generated? These dimensions can automatically be created by the IronCAD application with a template that defines which views will have dimensions as well as the properties of the dimensions themselves. To get started, you can create a simple part and then save it to a location on your PC. A simple block is enough to work. Then create a drawing based on that block and add the views you would like to see when you make the document a template. Once your views are all set, right click the view, and go to view properties. In the Dimensions tab, check the box that says: “Auto Dimension view when used in Bulk Drawing creation” You will need to go to the Auto Dimension settings afterwards and define the dimension Type, placement settings and Origin Location. Save the template file to one of your Bulk Drawing template folders and then you are all set. When you select that template inside the BVC tool, IronCAD will automatically generate dimensions based on the template layout. 2022-01-28 14-30-52.mp4 2022-03-04 13-37-48.mp4

Hi, We are currently investigating this issue. This has been filed under Support incident #115045

Inside an IronCAD sketch you may notice that that there are blue dots whenever you select on a line segment. These blue dots allow you to modify the geometry while maintaining certain relationships with connecting geometry. On line segments, there is a Blue dot that is offset from the center of the middle of the line, touching the angle dimension. This dot switches sides whenever you select a different side of the line segment. By selecting this and moving your mouse, you will edit the angle of the line segment. This interaction will maintain the connected geometries angles so the line segment will change in size. Holding shift before moving the line segment will lock the lines total length and will break the connecting lines angle. The Blue dot that is connected to the length dimension will control the length of the line segment without changing the angles of any connecting geometry. That means that connecting shapes will also change size depending on the geometry. Holding shift and moving that dot will change the lines length, but allow connecting geometry to change angle as well. These blue dots will also appear on arc geometry as well, so you can easily extend existing arcs as well. If you are looking to easily add constraints to a selected segment, you can select the line and use the property browser to quickly add context bases constraints for your parts. 2021-10-15 16-06-19.mp4

Here are some quick tips for creating drawing files quickly from your large assembly files: IronCAD can create drawings that exclude hidden objects from the creation process. Simply hide the parts you don't want to show in a drawing and select the create drawing button. The following Prompt will appear: This tool is asking if you want to show the parts that you have hidden in your drawing file, selecting Yes will show the hidden parts in the drawing, and selecting no will leave them hidden, and unselected in the views. Once in the view creation tool, you can see on the left side with the Select Part/assembly button, that the hidden part is not selected in the tree structure. IronCAD will remember your selection for the future, so updates to this drawing will not include the hidden part when you update the view. hiddenpartscreationdrawing.mp4 IronCAD also has the ability to create drawings with views to only show selected parts during creation. This process can be done by selecting all the parts you want to show in a drawing, then right click a part, and select Create Drawing from Selection. This process is similar to the hidden parts creation tool, as any updates to the part will not add parts to the view that were not initially selected in the creation process, unless you were to use the Select part/assembly function. selectedpartsdrawing.mp4

IronCAD has a whole list of ways to create copies and links of parts. But what if you have externally linked parts in an assembly that you want to use elsewhere or in another design? We will cover the many ways you can do this in IronCAD. Let dive in: If you want to use a part that exists in a large assembly inside of another design, you can use the save as part/assembly external option from the home menu to create an external linked copy in another location. This tool is very useful for live designs that you can edit once, and all linked instances will update. But what if you do not want to edit the part that currently exists inside your scene, and you want to make small edits for another design? In that case, you can go to the part you want to make a copy of and right-click open part/assembly. The linked scene file will open, and from there, you can use the save as function to start to save a copy to a new location. This is where you need to ensure that you select the Save as Copy option at the bottom of the menu that appears. If that option is not specified, then changes that are made will update the master file that you have open. In some cases, this might be what you want, but for our example, we want this new scene file to be independent for use on other projects, so we will select the Save as copy option. The process is now complete, and you can use the part however you want. 2021-03-26 16-16-00.mp4 There are a few other options for creating copies of externally linked parts that will not affect existing files, such as: When all files are closed, find the file you want to copy inside the windows explorer, make a copy of the file and rename it. That process will create a copy without linking it to the master file. 2021-03-26 16-40-05.mp4 The last method you can use is to drag a linked file into the catalog and select the option for Do not create a link. This will make a copy of the file that you can place into an empty scene for use. 2021-03-26 16-19-53.mp4

Common components reduce the amount of time required for a user to create bulk drawings by connecting pre-created drawings to common parts and assemblies. These common components have preexisting drawings associated with them when used from the IronCAD catalog system in the 3D scene. When you need to make a bulk drawing for your assemblies, the drawings' look and feel will remain consistent for parts that have already have drawings and will update to the changes performed on these parts/assemblies . This advancement will save time and effort for repeated objects like screws and other small hardware, as well as allowing you to automatically select complicated drawing files for components that are commonly used and take too much time to redraw for each project you work on. Example of Creating/Loading a Catalog of Common Components from a Folder To create a common component, you must have an existing scene file with your commonly used part/assembly. Then create a drawing for that file. Ensure that you place your views and select the correct templates because the layout you choose for this file will remain that way unless you open the file up again and edit it. You can then add the component to your catalog by creating a library of common components that contain your scene files and using The Browse/update common component button that is located in the right-click options of your catalogs. This button will prompt you to select a folder to import into a catalog, so create a folder and add all the files you would like to fill the catalog with. IronCAD also has a grouping feature that will grab subfolders found within the selected folder and create an item in the catalog containing another catalog. Next, use these parts and assemblies in your design. Use the Bulk View Creation tool to create a drawing of your new assembly and these used common components will automatically connect to the drawings in the dialog and will update with the changes in this assembly and will add as sheets to the new drawing file (see the video below). commoncomponents.mp4

For this Community Challenge, we are asking our users to share how IronCAD has helped them with improving their design productivity. Not only will this challenge give you the opportunity to promote your company and your IronCAD skills, but your video submission could also potentially win you a prize at the end of the year. Submitted videos will be featured by IronCAD and shared across our various digital channels to help promote your company and your work. We are excited to see your videos and hope that we can show off the fantastic work that you have done. We ask that your videos include the information below: Tell us a little about your company or services (size of company, industry, location, etc.) What CAD system(s) were you using previously & what problems were you facing? What did you like best about IronCAD? What else did you like about the product? How would you quantify the benefits IronCAD has delivered for your business or your design team’s productivity? In the conclusion, why you recommend IronCAD? Some formatting tips: Your videos' length can vary, but we recommended that it be around 2 - 3 mins to answer the questions. We would prefer to have a video interview with IC in the background, or the company owner at a desk answering questions. We love seeing your work, so feel free to show us some cool designs. This is the time for you to shine so highlight your skills and the cool ways you use IronCAD that brings productivity to your team!

IronCAD has a partnership with KeyShot, a rendering program that creates beautiful images using an easy-to-use tool and a Real-time rendering scene to show you a preview of your pictures and animations. IronCAD can directly export over to KeyShot using the buttons located in the add-ins section. The "Render in KeyShot" button will bring up a fresh KeyShot scene file, and will add your parts into it automatically. The "Export to KeyShot" button will create and save a KeyShot file for you automatically, with the parts and textures taken from IronCAD. The "Update KeyShot" button allows you to send new model geometry to the KeyShot scene file with only a single click. IronCAD also offers a few options to make it easier to organize your materials and textures for the rendering by having the option to link matching materials in IronCAD so that KeyShot will apply all changes to that material to the corresponding parts. This option allows users to organize their matching materials in IronCAD to easily link and create the look and feel for their parts in KeyShot. IronCAD also offers an option that will allow you to dictate which direction should be upwards for your model inside the KeyShot scene. You can then use the vast array of tools available in KeyShot to create renderings perfect to your needs. KeyShot offers a wide range of preset utilities that can make your part look like anything you want. A library of textures that come with advanced options for colors and roughness will allow you to choose and edit your materials to create designs. KeyShot's environment can be customized to change the lighting, background, and other settings that will change your renderings' look and feel. Users can also choose to edit the lighting and camera location so you can snap back to the shop you want to capture with a couple of clicks. KeyShot also allows users to change their renderings' scale and resolution to spend the right amount of time on their work rendering their projects as necessary. keyshotvidoe.mp4 To learn more about how KeyShot works, check out their website for using KeyShot and check out some of the impressive renderings that users have made with the program. https://www.keyshot.com/resources/learning/ If you are interested in learning more about how KeyShot can work with your workflow, please contact your Reseller for pricing and options.

The Sheet metal loft command allows users to create complex sheet metal geometry with only using two 2D sketches. Ensure that your sketches consist of an open profile and smooth edges so that the part can finish without any errors. Some options available when using the sheet metal loft command ask you if you would like to choose a profile location. This determines where your sheet metal will be placed relative to the 2D sketches you created. Be sure that you select the correct location when starting, or you might have to right-click the part later on and switch the location. You can also choose to change the sheet metal stock used for the loft and the features that will come after creation. If you didn't select the correct stock, you could always edit it later on by right-click – part properties. Default bend lines are an essential property when creating a loft that has gradual turns and curves. This tool will do what it says; determine the number of bends to be used when approximating these bends. This will be noted on the unfolded part for manufacturers to follow. The press bend command can be used to make a press break developed part. You can choose the parts minimum bend radius and select individual bend lines to use for your parts. Using this option also changes the loft's look to represent the # of bends you selected earlier. 2020-09-17 14-05-09.mp4 The Sheet Metal Loft Tool is one of the most powerful tools in IronCAD.
