Hi After upgrading IronCAD, I tried to test it, but ChatBot is a bit inconvenient. It is almost the same as F1, the help function, and it pops up from time to time, which is very inconvenient. Thanks.

Hi 1. we have a job to do a conveyor demonstration as an ironcad. I looked it up on youtube and the model is very different from the conveyor design videos from about 10 years ago. Is it not possible to use the conveyor catalog from 10 years ago? 2. When I look at the conveyor model tree in IronCAD, the model tree is formed with red icons, not features, and the sub-features are not visible. How can I make the model tree look like a conveyor catalog when the models are so different? Thanks

Malcolm. Thank you very much for the answer to my question. I'm glad to see that IronCAD is finally making some changes. However, it is still lagging a lot while other low-cost CAD systems (SolidWorks, Inventor, Gstar CAD, ZW CAD, Brics CAD, UniCAD, NanoCAD, Smart CAD...) are growing rapidly. If IronCAD wants to grow while AutoCAD is so prevalent in the world, it will either have to abandon ICD and use that money to improve IC and CAXA intensively, or join the ODA and focus its efforts on developing AutoCAD-compatible 2D tools. Here are the IronCAD features that users need most. 1. Dual Monitor support 2. Active Sub Assembley When creating a part, the part will only be created under the active Sub Assembly. 3. Improved convenience of Multi Body Modeling and ease of designing steel structures, etc. Thanks.

Malcolm. Your sample video is very helpful for me. I personally find the Steel Structure feature in IronCAD very difficult and frustrating, so I have never tried to apply it to structures and have only modelled IronCAD stapler samples. But when I see what you have designed with the Steel Structure feature of IronCAD, it is even phenomenal. Questions. 1. when designing and modelling the structures in your video, did you use 3D Curve to design the layout and then design the structures? 2. when designing a steel structure, do you create a Datum Plan and create a 2D curve there and create a Steel Structure? 3. When calculating the BOM, do you export the BOM Table in CAXA 2D Drawing to Excel File and use the file to create documents such as quotation, order, purchase requisition, etc. I am developing a C++, C# programme to extract BOM information from 3D Scene files and automatically issue quotations, purchase orders, purchase requisitions, etc. by company and item.(Only Innovate Mode Model)

Thank you very much. Malcolm You have solved my this problem again. Now all I need to do is ask the IronCAD R&D Team for a C Program API to access the Attribute (Matrical, Qty, Size, Colour, etc) for the Body. I need to create Purchase Orders, Purchase Requisitions, and Quotations in PLM with a batch aggregation of parts. Thanks.

Hi I am trying to sell IronCAD as an alternative to AutoCAD to tier 1 and 2 vendors for ship building companies and plant builders. So I tried to do a very simple sample using the IronCAD Structured Parts module, and it was very difficult compared to Solid Works or Inventor, but it's not a problem that I can't get them to design in Innovate Mode, because there are a lot of cases where the whole structure needs to be driven by a skeleton. Also, I am developing PLM, and I have programmed the part designed in Innovate Mode to automatically create quotation, purchase request, purchase order, etc. by aggregating part number, part name, description, quantity, and material, but I cannot apply it because description, material, quantity, etc. are not displayed in Structured Parts. I would be very grateful if some one could tell me how to design in Structured Parts Mode and how to display Description, Material, Quantity, etc. Also, I've mentioned this a few times before, but dual monitor support is very important for ship builders and plant companies to display 3D and 2D on different monitors.

Thank you very much. Jonas. Now Canceled all transparent parts.

Hi I'm having trouble getting the colour of the parts of the file I'm attaching to change to transparent and then back to opaque for some reason. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what the problem is. Thanks. CONVEYER-1ST.zip

In order to understand the advantages of IronCAD's Structured Modelling method and Multi body Design Modelling that I was not aware of, I created a drawing in IronCAD that is commonly used in various 3D CAD tutorials. What are the advantages of IronCAD's multibody modelling method compared to Solidworks' multibody modelling? 1. Pattern of Feature, Part 2. Easy to change design 3. Convenient to create part model to drawing 4. 3D Modelling Thanks. Bench Vice Assembly.mp4 VICE.zip

I would like to set the z-direction of the world coordinate system of my workspace to default to the direction that comes forward from the screen on my monitor. How do I set this? Thanks.

Thank you very much Kevin & Jonas.

Hi An IronCAD user creates a hole and wants to create a smart dimension, but the centre of the hole is not highlighted, how can the user easily create a smart dimension? When the user selects the wall of the Hole, the dimension is sometimes squashed instead of being perpendicular to the side the user wants to put the dimension on. Thanks. Smart dimension.mp4

Thank you very much. Ttialanderror, Stefan, Simmons, Kim. My main objective is to make sure that IronCAD has a high ROI for the companies that adopt it, so that they sell it to users. Many people say that IronCAD has a low barrier to entry but a very steep learning curve, and it is criticized for its lack of feature extensibility, steel structure features (Structure, Weldment, 3D Curve creation...) and convenience when using Structured Mode. It would be nice to see more development in Structured Modeling and CAXA than ICD in the future. I am grateful to several members of the IronCAD Community for giving me informative information and especially to Malcolm. Despite being very busy with his work, Malcolm is grateful to have generously informed him of the many alternatives and the knowledge he has accumulated. In Korea, there are especially many plant, heavy industry, and shipbuilding companies, and I think IronCAD should be provided to them as an alternative CAD to AutoCAD. Thanks.

Hi When designing IronCAD steel structure, is there any way to make it easy for users to design like the attached video? Personally, I have used several 3D CAD and I find IronCAD's structured design the most difficult. End-users prefer easy and quick design and easy modification. Steel Structure Design.mp4

I'm a little sorry to talk about other software here, but there is a Chinese proverb that says that you need to know the enemy so that our allies can win the war. It has Top-Down Design for Creo and WAVE function for NX. I think it would be good to benchmark and develop other CAD products in IronCAD's Structured Mode Modeling.
