"Keycreator - Capable, Flexible full featured mechanical design tool"
4/5
What do you like best about KeyCreator?

For my needs - primarily structural and mechanical design ( plus detailing) Keycreator has a wide set of tools that allow me get my designs completed quickly. I was able to learn primarily w/o training - on the job - when I changed positions and Keycreator was the tool of choice for the new job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyCreator?

Some of my product design could be benefited by animation of the function. I find the animation capability lacking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"KeyCreator is great for contractors"
5/5
What do you like best about KeyCreator?

The biggest two advantages of KeyCreator both relate to its ability to use imported data from a multitude of sources. They are, its very good translation abilities, and its direct modelling approach. Just the thing for contractors who don't have the luxury of using only their own data, but are constantly using data obtained from sundry sources. And excellent even if you only use your own data.

What do you dislike about KeyCreator?

KeyCreator cannot fully use all the resources of a powerful computer (multiple CPU cores, top level graphics cards). Greater performance is a key requirement Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best CAD platform available."
5/5
What do you like best about KeyCreator?

The platform can open any file, and work with it as if it was native. Speed of making changes is 90% faster than any other program. it is super stable and crashes 1-2 times a year. (And you know what you did to make it do that...) Support is super responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyCreator?

The FEA suite was discontinued... Very sad only. I use FEA every day, so I must keep an older version installed next to my latest version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Still needs some work"
3/5
What do you like best about KeyCreator?

I like the speed and the ease of the 3d modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KeyCreator?

When detailing a part and you try to change the line-type of the border. Normally only the line that is picked changes not the whole detail itself.

The auto save feature makes the program go a little weird and you need to move the mouse or hit a key on the keyboard to make go back to normal.

Difficult to set up on pens for line width

To many bugs in the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the feedback! One of our application engineers is actually in the process of redesigning how KeyCreator handles extruding disconnected profiles and we would love to get more input on how you think this would work best.
