You can follow our previous webinar from Thursday October 17, 2024, where we go through the super tool IPROActiveManager in IRONCAD.
When the 3D scene starts to grow and you need to get a little better control of its content of parts and assemblies and what metadata in the form of names, part numbers, materials and other valuable properties are present or missing, then the tool IPROActiveManager is absolutely superior.
For example, did you know that there are several different ways to display the story tree? How to quickly find out which parts will be shown in the 2D drawing parts list or not? It is also possible to generate and manage free part numbers between different projects.
Create different types of lists that you can edit or export to PDF/MS Excel. Apply tags/categories to items and output lists that match the tags you select. Assign or edit properties or reformat the text for these. Use the tool before you create your drawings, so that you know that the drawing header and parts lists are correctly filled in before you pick them up.
The presentation will be made by Jonas Bryntesson who works with IRONCAD training and technical support.
We also mention a couple of websites at the beginning of the video, so here are some useful links.
The Mechanism exercise with the digging arm can be found at IronCAD Academy. See the button at the bottom right.
For those who want to follow a shorter introduction to mechanisms, there is also a simple crank mechanism.
On our support blog there are a number of posts that deal with various tools and functions around the extension IronCAD Mechanical.
Also, don't forget the English online manual for IronCAD Mechanical .
Answer: Here we publish tips, guides, news and solutions for those who work with IRONCAD and Design Data Manager (DDM). The blog covers everything from basic functions to advanced workflows, helping you to optimize your design work. You'll find examples of smart shortcuts, practical instructions, solutions to common problems, and best practices for product design, mechanical design, and product data management.
Answer: Our guides and tips are designed for both beginners and experienced CAD users. They are aimed at designers, engineers and project managers who want to work more efficiently with IRONCAD and DDM, improve the design process, reduce mistakes and save time in product development.
Answer: We regularly publish new articles when the software is updated, when new features are introduced, or when our users ask for solutions to specific problems. The blog is therefore a reliable source for keeping up to date and getting tips that make everyday CAD work easier.
Answer: Many of our instructions and tips work in multiple versions, but we clearly indicate if an article applies to a specific version. We strive to make the content useful for older versions as well, and also provide recommendations on how to adapt workflows to the version you are using.
Answer: Absolutely! If you can't find the solution in the blog, you can contact our technical support via solidmakarna.support. Our experts will help you with everything from installation and configuration to advanced features in IRONCAD and DDM, so you can solve problems quickly and efficiently.
Answer: Yes! We appreciate suggestions from our users. If you have questions, tips or want us to address a specific issue in IRONCAD or DDM , please contact us via our contact form and we will prioritize relevant topics in future posts.
Answer: The blog contains, among other things:
Practical step-by-step guides to help you use IRONCAD and DDM more effectively.
Productivity and workflow tips for faster design and construction.
Solutions to common problems encountered by users in CAD programs.
Updates and news on new features, versions and improvements.
Best practices for data management and project organization in DDM.
Answer: All tips and guides are directly applicable in daily work. For example, you can use shortcuts and smart features in IRONCAD to speed up modeling, structure files better in Design Data Manager, or follow our step-by-step solutions for specific problems that often come up in design projects.
Answer: We strive to ensure that all guides and tips are relevant to the latest versions of IRONCAD and DDM. We also clearly mark when a post applies to an older version, so you always know if the instruction is directly applicable to your system.
Answer: Yes! Many of our users share the articles with colleagues and use them as internal training materials. The blog is a great complement to formal training and helps teams learn features faster, avoid mistakes, and standardize workflows in IRONCAD and DDM.
