Libraries in IronCAD
Work faster with smart catalogs and reusable parts
Place parts and smart components directly into your design using drag-and-drop. Libraries help you work faster, more consistently, and more efficiently on every project.
Why work with libraries?
With libraries in IronCAD, you place parts directly into your design without re-modeling. That way you work faster and keep your designs consistent.
Choose parts directly
Frequently used parts readily available within your workflow.
Drag & Drop workflow
Drag and drop parts directly from the catalog into your design.
Consistent designs
Work to established standards within each project.
Own libraries
Store own components and configurations for reuse.
How does the Catalog Browser work?
The Catalog Browser provides direct access to standard parts and smart design components within IronCAD. Using drag-and-drop, you can place parts directly into your design without any extra steps. The catalogs listed below are available by default when you install IronCAD.
Standard Catalogs
Shapes
Basic IntelliShapes such as blocks, cylinders, holes, and other simple shapes.
Advanced Shapes
More complex shapes and construction profiles.
Sheet metal
Parts for sheet metal design such as bends and punches.
Tools
Commonly used tools such as gears, fasteners and patterns.
Build your own libraries
Easily drag and drop parts, assemblies, and smart components into a catalog and reuse them in other projects. This way, you can quickly build your own library that fits your workflow.
- Proprietary standard parts
- Smart parametric components
- Reusable assemblies
- Business Standards
Additional libraries
In addition to the standard catalogs, additional libraries are available for specific applications and workflows. This allows you to work faster with practical parts, configurations and components for different applications.
