LEDAS Opens Driving Dimensions Labs
LEDAS Ltd launched the Driving Dimensions Labs as a part of its DrivingDimensions.com web site. Driving Dimensions Labs is the space for new technology: here visitors can see some of LEDAS prototypes in action.
"Users of many CAD systems based on history-free modeling still suffer from lack of parametrization", said Dmitry Ushakov, Director of Product Management, LEDAS Ltd. "Driving Dimensions for Google SketchUp was only the first product in the line. Driving Dimensions Labs has been created to share our ideas with the users of other CAD systems. We appreciate any feedback on these prototypes at labs@drivingdimensions.com."
Now Driving Dimensions Labs contains several movies that demonstrate Driving Dimensions prototypes working in different CAD environment. They are not in beta stage, but users can see how the idea of dimension-driven design can be implemented in different CAD.
AutoCAD® still lacks for parametric modification of its drawings (up to 2009 version). Driving Dimensions Labs presents a prototype working in AutoCAD 2007.
Users of Rhino 3D can gain a lot of their time by using a bottom-up constraint-driven assembly design. Forward kinematic animation is only one of the features LEDAS does research when prototyping Driving Dimensions for Rhino 3D.
