Drafting with Parametric Components

Description

The Drafting module offers a set of tools that covers the entire process of drawing and editing a structural design. EngView's packaging software includes a rich library of drag-and-drop parametric components, making design creation easier and smarter than ever before. All components resize automatically relative to the structure they are snapped to.

Parametric components are created using our Synergy constraint-based design tools. They help structural designers draft parametric components by setting geometric relations between objects as they draw shapes like flaps and locks from scratch. These components are then reused when drafting or editing resizable designs for packaging and displays.
