Drawing with ‘Direct modeling’
Direct modeling means that adjustments can be made directly to a model. This means that drawing can be done without the limitations of the drawing history. Instead of drawing by specifying a long series of steps parametrically, with Direct modeling you can move the geometry and surfaces directly. Pull out, remove and adjust to get exactly what is desired. These changes can be completely free or controlled by the exact values that are needed in relation to geometry that is already there.

This means that insight into how a model was originally drawn is no longer necessary. Direct modeling gives you complete freedom to adjust the models and the models that have been created can be imported and exported in one of the many file formats that Designer supports.

The wide range of import options ensures that users can work with data from almost any supplier. Very large files can be easily opened and optimized and files that work with complex designs will benefit from the simplicity with which the CAD data can be manipulated or supplemented. In addition, PMI data can be read in, an important item of a CAD system.
