IRONCAD has a catalog system that makes work faster than you thought possible. Drag and drop 3D extrusions and lofts such as volumes, holes and various standard components straight into the 3D environment to create new parts 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 the drag-and-drop principle and bi-directional catalogs make it faster than ever to build and reuse components. Efficient, intuitive and flexible - from idea to finished model. The movie on the left is in Swedish. Watch the movie in English here
Attachment Points in IRONCAD act like a magnet and 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 next door.

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 relationship problems due to complicated constraints.
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 a variety of materials such as wood or metals directly from the catalog. Drag-and-drop the material onto the model and get the right look in both design and rendering.
Save your own parties, features, assemblies or materials in a catalog - and pull them back into new or existing projects. Easy reuse in both directions.
The catalogs in the 2D drawing can be used to quickly enter welding symbols and other types of notes that you can organize and customize yourself. Drag them directly onto the drawing sheet - this not only saves time but makes it easier for everyone in the team to use the same information.
DRAFT is a directly integrated and powerful 2D module in IRONCAD. DRAFT catalogs contain many 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 and save tons of time. You don't have to pay for separate 2D programs - IRONCAD is complete.
