KeyCreator Reviews & Product Details

Of all features I like most about KeyCreator is its flexibility in dealing with complicated 3D modeling duties. Several special powerful tools which can be used to make much more accurate and intricate models are offered by the software. Another strength is that it supports different file formats, thus it links well with other CAD platforms and applications we employ. This integration makes work easy for all our teams and sharpens the efficiency of our knowledge sharing with inter- operational teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest disadvantage of KeyCreator can be attributed to its higher level of difficulty in terms of usability. The interface is rather confusing because of numerous options, and it certainly takes a lot of practice and time to get used to all the features. This has sometimes been a disadvantage because it has caused longer onboarding processes for members and we sometimes encounter problems in designing while we are getting familiar with the software.

Its truly attractive feature is versatility when it comes to CAD design tasks which I find most useful in KeyCreator. This interface is user friendly, it should be noted that even the first time learners will not have many problems mastering it. The compatibility with the software such as AutoCAD and SolidWorks is also appreciated in our company. I do also like the enhancements in modeling tools that enable precise changes to be made on our models thus helping us to work much faster during the design phase.

One of the main drawbacks of the KeyCreator software is that it is relatively slow when it comes to handling big projects or designs; such a problem slows us down. In addition, even though the specification incorporates many helpful appendages, the documentation itself is not clearly defined, which hinders individuals from learning efficiently. This gap has manifested in our team reporting confusion and disorganization when onboarding to the platform and when best utilizing the platform, respectively. All these challenges can cause an interference to the general design efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We like the ability to see both 2D and 3D models. Many software programs only allow you to see one or the other. It's incredibly convenient to have both. It saves us time and headache, as we use this everyday. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team struggled with implementation of the product at first. With many people with many different experience levels, ages and backgrounds, we found it a bit difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using the product for over 25 years. Very user friendly especially for experienced users. The only negative comment is the support staff is not large enough. The personnel in tech support is very knowledgeable if you can contact them. Have had numerous calls for support and left messages with no returned calls or if there is a call back it is a few days later. Due to time sensitive work, I would find another way to get the job done in order to complete the task. The lack of tech support response is very frustrating especially when I pay for annual maintenance. The software is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lack of tech support. When you Re ae to speak with tech support they are very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

KeyCreator lets me draw quickly in a way that is free of constraints. I have used the software for 30 years and it just keeps getting better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At times there is still some file instability. It is much better than it once was but at times it still hangs up instead of giving an error such as geometry impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program does simple modeling operations for creating one-off designs very well. But also, when you get to the more complex assemblies, it can integrate parts seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The drawback I have encountered is a limited number of programs can import Keycreator files directly, and Keycreator is missing the ability to export files in certain program formats. When collaborating with other designers from other companies, it is, at times, a trial to export Keycreator files for them to see and integrate into their programs.

Only one file to manage, unlike other software that are linking nightmares. Design with actual solids, easily manipulate, and modify without having to decipher a tree or some other designers methodology. Integration and communication with so many other platforms make working with customers and suppliers a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, not much, The help menus can be made less technical with more examples. However, the tutorials on-line cover this well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to import various different types of formats makes it very useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Paper space not being supported from what i can find out is cumbersome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Keycreator is a very logical software for toolmakers going into design, their improvements over the years show their dedication to the evolution of the software Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Translating between software, especially Unigraphics, while maintaining level structure and labels. We import mainly UG and STP formats and are required to export completed designs that support connection to original incoming designs and BOM's Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very lean and quick without parameters.

The nice user interface works fast with large assemblies.

Direct drawing and modeling and a lot of export and import possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The layout\module is the weak part.

Not natural - hard to give measurements and tolerances.

Missing automated lines and symbols for daily use - requires several clicks.

automated bomBOM also lacking Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
