D-Cubed 2D DCM

Automatically create parametric sketches by using the 2D DCM to infer dimensions and constraints between sketch entities, either in legacy drawings, or “on the fly” while the user is sketching.

2D DCM operates on points, lines, circles, ellipses, conics, splines and parametric curves. Dimensions and constraints include distance, angle, radius, parallel, perpendicular, tangent, concentric, symmetric, normal and equal distance/radius. Variable dimensions can be linked by equations that are solved simultaneously.

Configure splines using constraints including spline length, tangent direction, tangent length, second derivative, equal direction and equal curvature. A choice of solving modes is available according to preferred behavior.

Specify preferred solving outcomes, such as minimal movement of geometry. Feedback is always provided about the status of the sketch, including under-constrained or over-constrained geometry.
