ViaCAD has more powerful features than many competitive CAD packages costing much more. A simple user interface provides access to the rich tool set and delivers impressive, professional results. Use the patent pending 2-D/3-D user interface to work comfortably in 2-D. Switch at any time to 3-D to add depth and features if you choose. Innovative LogiCursor™ technology aids in visually anticipating your moves, assisting throughout the design process whether you are designing in 2-D or 3-D. 80 minutes of video training included with the product. Designers can choose from a variety of integrated design methods that include: • Curves (points, lines, splines, arcs, ellipses, conics) • Surfaces • Solids (primitives, profile based, surface based, features) • Features (fillet, chamfer, shell, boss, holes, protrude, cutout ) • Local face (modify foreign parts without history) • Warp (bend, twist, stretch NURB bodies independent of history) • Generating 2-D drawings automatically from 3-D models. ViaCAD shares data with AutoCAD, Adobe Illustrator and Google’s SketchUp. However, unlike facetted based packages, ViaCAD uses a precise kernel that enables data sharing with other high-end applications via SAT, IGES, STEP or DXF/DWG file formats.
