Kubotek USA introduced KeyMarkUp CAD Viewer, an addition to its family of CAD software products. KeyMarkUp views and marks up over two dozen CAD file formats. "With the addition of markup capabilities, more supported file types, exporting and mold and die modules, and a simplified interface, KeyMarkUp provides superior functionality and value to those who want to view and communicate CAD data," said a company spokesperson.
KeyMarkUp CAD Viewer gives engineers a method to measure, analyze, annotate, print and export CAD data for communication, collaboration and more accurate quoting. A dynamic selection tool, for instance, allows users to create simple cross sections of complex parts or assemblies to complete difficult measurements or geometry checks. Multiple dimensioning, measuring and mass property features and calculating tools, as well as mold design tools, simplify quoting and estimating.
The optional mold and die module enables mold-makers to use several mold specific features to analyze models, to locate problems or to prepare more accurate quotations. KeyMarkUp mold tools include draft angle analysis, thickness analysis, shrinkage calculation, static interference check and calculation of projected surfaces.
KeyMarkUp can open very large assembly files and most 2D and 3D CAD formats including CATIA V4 and CATIA V5 (2D and 3D), Pro/Engineer and Creo (2D & 3D), JT Open, I-DEAS, 3D XML, VDA-FS, SolidWorks (2D and 3D) and Siemens PLM NX. In all, 32 viewing formats are available. "No CAD experience is necessary to navigate the intuitive, simple interface of KeyMarkUp. This ease-of-use makes KeyMarkUp a CAD viewer that can be easily deployed throughout any organization," said the spokesperson.
"The KeyMarkUp CAD viewer will become an alternative for any company who needs to continue work with CATIA V4 CAD files. The 'quick open' option of KeyMarkUp makes opening large assemblies a snap," said Tony Anderson, Vice President of Comparison Suite Products.
"KeyMarkUp can also export various file types, including 3D PDF, STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, JPEG, STL and 15 additional file formats. Simple screen captures of annotated views enhance communication options. These full export and screen capture capabilities will enhance communications options, customer proposals, web and marketing content," said Matt Carr, Vice President of Sales and Support. "The ability to add dimensions, notes and annotations gives program managers, engineers, designers, estimators and marketing the data they need without the complexity and price of maintaining multiple CAD seats."
KeyMarkUp is available in two versions: Basic and Premium. KeyMarkUp Premium is full featured and contains popular file translators. KeyMarkUp Basic contains all the tools and features found in KeyMarkUp Premium, but with less file import options. As mentioned, optional Mold and Export modules are also available.
