Bridging the Gap Between 2D and 3D
Even with 3D CAD, you’re still very likely to rely on 2D drawings for a long time to come, especially in manufacturing and in dealing with your suppliers. DesignGateway™ provides a solution that lets 2D applications and 3D solids modelers communicate with each other without complex data translations. It lets you take existing 2D drawings and easily generate sketches for your 3D modelers. Or in reverse, harness your 3D applications to quickly create 2D drawings without need of high-level 3D CAD expertise.

"We have successfully migrated over 750,000 CADAM files to CADRA. CADRA is used for MECAPP system and complements our 3D system, CATIA very well."
--Jeff Rosenburg, Sikorsky
"We migrated tens of thousands of files from CADAM Nurestor format with very few problems. CADRA's automated conversion software effectively managed the conversion with only a small number of files requiring manual intervention.
--Jeff Wiseman, Honeywell
"We converted around 500,000 CADAM files using CADRA technology, and have had no major problems. CADRA works great for managing all of our 2D data. Files come over looking just the way they were in IBM CADAM."
--Danny Wright, Milacron Plastics Technology
“We evaluated other products, and found SofTech's technology was the best. We talked to customers who use both Unigraphics and CADRA. They were very pleased with CADRA's ability to migrate legacy CADAM and MICROCADAM data to Unigraphics."
--Jim Mohan, Unigraphics
“DesignGateway is the solution. We are able to drop off 2D views as needed without anyone being proficient with Pro/E on our end.”
--Jerry Mayhew, Fairbanks Morse Engine
“Using the DesignGateway software, our company has been able to increase our productivity and time to market while still maintaining our goals of going to a Solids environment.”
--Thomas Piechota, Dresser Measurement & Control
