Sigmetrix today announced the latest release of its GD&T Advisor software for PTC Creo® design software. In addition to supporting the latest Creo 3.0 release, GD&T Advisor v2.3 offers updates to this interactive tool that expertly guides designers through a standards-based application of GD&T from within the CAD environment.
GD&T Advisor v2.3 has been enhanced to:
- provide greater support for establishing datums from targets.
- support compound datum features, also referred to as a common datum in ISO GPS, from parallel axes that are not coaxial.
- offer greater flexibility for defining hole notes for threaded holes.
- provide more options for defining drafted features.
- improve customization options for the default strings and application choices.
- inform the user about unused datums and DRFs.
“The benefits of using GD&T are undeniable—it is a standardized, international system that allows companies to convey the design intent in a succinct and precise manner,” said Sigmetrix President and CEO, Chris Wilkes. “The latest release of GD&T Advisor will provide users with expanded functionality, an exceptional user experience, and greater flexibility in customizing the software to meet their needs. As a result, companies will be able to reduce costs by easily integrating a successful GD&T program into their design and manufacturing processes.”
