TurboCAD 12 Constraint Manager Training CD

TurboCAD Constraint Manager Training CD provides training on TurboCAD Professional’s dimension driven, constraint based design functionality which enables end-users to produce and modify their designs more efficiently.

Introduction
In this new training series for TurboCAD 12 we will review the basic constraints introduced in earlier versions of TurboCAD and we will examine the exciting new constraint tools in the new TurboCAD Professional Mechanical Edition.

Learn how to use the D-cubed Constraint Manager in TurboCAD

Extensive geometry support, including points, lines, circles, ellipses, splines and general parametric curves

Wide range of dimensions and constraints, including distance, angle, radius, equal distance, equal radius, parallel and much more

Advanced spline constraints, including tangent direction, tangent length, 2nd derivative, equal direction and equal curvature

Comprehensive feedback about the status of the drawing

Learning Modules
TurboCAD Constraint manager training CD contains 18 learning modules grouped into 5 easy to understand sections each with a Flash demonstration to make learning painless.

Modify Your Designs

Designs can be rapidly modified, by dragging geometry, for example, or by entering new dimension values. TurboCAD maintains the consistency of the drawing, eliminating the need to edit the model manually. TurboCAD's constraint manager handles all of the following constraint types.

Perpendicular

Parallel

Pattern

Tangential (including Chirality)

Connect

Equal Distance

Length and Radius

Fixed

Dimensional

Auto-add (allows users to set mathematical relationships between dimensions)

Advantages in using Constraints
Constraints allow easy rework of designs after a review cycle. With constraints there is an ease of changing designs. The constrained associations precisely and accurately define the relationships between the elements of your drawing.

Rapid modifications are now possible. You simply alter the constraining dimensions and relationships and the drawing will update while maintaining the other relationships between objects. Retaining the accuracy of your design and the relationships between the elements in your drawing become automatic.
