Cadkey Software Free Download
I don’t see the move to Alibre as advancing. Please elaborate. Funny, I’ve never thought of Cadkey as 2D software, to me it has always been 3D, after all, it was the first true 3D software for the PC, albeit wireframe.

It was never inexpensive, about 3k when we first purchased it back in the 80’s. Cadkey 99 is 6 or 7 years old, light years ago in the world of software development. If someone is looking for basic tools to learn then it may work, but in my opinion, would be a waste of time and effort. BTW I do have some manuals around here someplace.
A user since version 3. I really liked the cadkey 99 and still use it from time to time. It's great for 2-d mold drawing and it has 3-d surfacing and solids. Rearview mirror car recorder 1080p manual. I also have many add ons for it. I agree with hancast.
Don't be a software snob. Find what works for you and use it. Most people only learn a small portion of a softwares capabilities and never master it before having to relearn the next upgrade. Some guys just get all pumped up by what ever the software salesman are hyping.
It's a tool newer isn't always better. My 30 year old Bridgeports have outlasted a dozen import mills. I have a calculator that has a thousand functions. Doen't seem to add, subtract, divide, multply and trig functions any better than the 15 year one it replaced. Although it was alot cheaper. Funny how some things never get any cheaper, Software for one, even though the disc there on are.
OAKLAND, Calif. & MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--( )--March 18, 2003--Tech Soft America (TSA), the leading provider of component graphics technology to the CAD/CAM/CAE industry, and CADKEY Corporation, a leading developer of Windows(R)-based mechanical design and drafting software worldwide, announced the all-new CADKEY(R) V21 Viewer was rapidly built on the HOOPS(R) 3D Application Framework (HOOPS 3d/AF), further extending CADKEY's use of HOOPS technologies. The new CADKEY viewer, available for free download from allows users to view the all-new-architecture files for CADKEY GraphX and CADKEY Workshop Version 20 as well as the newest release - Version 21.
It also gives users the opportunity to export files in a variety of formats including the popular HOOPS Stream File (HSF), the format at the center of the OpenHSF Initiative. 'CADKEY was looking for a simplified method for both CADKEY users and non-CAD users to view original data stored in our new '.CKD' file format. It was important that it have an easy-to-use interface, various display motions, measuring capabilities, attribute verification and numerous export options so that non-engineering departments could readily access and use the information for collaborative purposes. We also wanted a wide range of export options for ease of model and drawing distribution. By using the HOOPS 3D Application Framework we were able to focus on quickly and easily delivering a simple yet powerful viewer,' stated Robert Bean, P.E., President and CEO of CADKEY Corporation.
'It's great to see the CADKEY(R) V21 Viewer is already available to the public. CADKEY had a specific set of requirements for this product, including optimized graphics display and output of next-generation compressed graphical files as well as an aggressive timeline for delivery. HOOPS 3D Application Framework was the ideal toolkit for them to use and has given the CADKEY Viewer a solid foundation and rich functionality,' added Ron Fritz, Managing Partner, Tech Soft America.
About HOOPS 3D Application Framework HOOPS 3D Application Framework (HOOPS/3dAF) is an extensible, high-level component that dramatically simplifies the design, development and maintenance of high-performance, interactive 2D/3D applications for Windows, UNIX, LINUX, Windows CE devices or the Web. Many leading developers of engineering software, including SolidWorks, PTC, MSC.Software, Fluent, CADKEY, SPSS, Surpac, Pam-Systems, Sescoi and 150+ others rely on HOOPS technology in one or more shipping applications to drastically reduce R&D costs, dramatically speed time-to-market, enhance the graphics performance and functionality of their applications and enable them to focus on their core competency. With HOOPS/3dAF, the base infrastructure for building highly-custom, high performance applications is already optimally designed and built. Developers work from a high level to extend and customize the framework, taking advantage of the power of the underlying set of component and focusing their development efforts on their true value-add rather than attempting to re-invent the vast power and functionality already encapsulated within the HOOPS product set.
