IRONCAD has a catalog system that makes work faster than you thought possible. Drag and drop 3D shapes such as volumes, holes and various standard components straight into the 3D environment to create new details or build on existing ones. Just as easily, drag your details or assemblies to your own catalogs for lightning-fast access later. Unbeatable!
In the video, you'll see how drag-and-drop and bi-directional catalogs make it faster than ever to build and reuse components. Efficient, intuitive and flexible - from idea to finished model. Watch the full movie in English here
Attachment Points in IRONCAD allow components from a catalog to automatically know where and how they should be oriented in relation to each other. Even mechanisms can be managed automatically. Build customized configurations with drag and drop - easier than building with Lego! You can easily create your own Attachment Points for your details. See a short example in the movie beside.

With the catalogs, you always have 3D fasteners and beams at your fingertips. Drag them directly into 3D and save time in every project.
Choose from wood, metal or more advanced materials directly from the catalog. Drag the material onto the model and get the right look both in design and rendering.
Save your own parties, features, compilations or materials in a catalog - and pull them back into new or existing projects. Easy reuse in both directions.
See how you can easily replace parts in your design with other parts found in a catalog! Drag and drop new components, assemblies or features and replace existing ones. All links are preserved. Smooth, efficient and perfect for speeding up your work. You also avoid all the mate problems.
With ICD's catalogs, you get ready-made 2D symbols like weld symbols, annotations, and more, all organized. Drag and drop them directly into your drawing files - saving time, creating consistency and making it easier for everyone on your team to use the same information.
CAXA is a powerful, integrated 2D module in IRONCAD. Catalogs in CAXA contain lots of 2D symbols, e.g. for hydraulic and electrical diagrams. But you can just as easily add your own 2D symbols. Drag and drop symbols directly into the drawing - save time. No need to pay for separate 2D programs - IRONCAD is complete.
