Enhancing TransMagic’s Dimensioning Tools for CAD Precision
Client Name
TransMagic
TransMagic is a leading CAD translator capable of opening, viewing, and querying all major 3D CAD formats. Renowned for its precision and versatility, TransMagic also empowers users with advanced dimensioning tools to add linear, angular, and radial dimensions to a variety of geometries, including vertices, edges, arcs, planes, and cylindrical surfaces.
ProtoTech Solutions partnered with TransMagic to enhance their dimensioning tools by implementing and refining three types of dimensions:
- Linear Dimensions
- Angular Dimensions
- Radial Dimensions
Additionally, the tools now support edit and move functionality, enabling users to adjust inserted dimensions with ease.
One of the key challenges was implementing a Linear Dimension for scenarios where two arc entities are selected. This required careful consideration of various measurement options to ensure accurate and user-friendly dimensioning.
Our team developed a dynamic interface that allows users to select their desired dimension type for arc entities, offering the following options:
- Tangents of Two Arcs
- Centers of Two Arcs
- Tangent of One Arc and Center of Another
We also introduced a Part-to-Part Authentication feature, enabling users to compare master and derived models for accuracy, ensuring design fidelity.
Dimensioning Features
This dynamic dimensioning tool significantly enhances the user experience by making dimensioning:
- Intuitive and Efficient: Users can quickly add the most appropriate dimension type based on the selected geometry.
- Flexible and Precise: The edit and move functionality allows for easy adjustments, ensuring perfect alignment and accuracy.
