Released February 2007
D-Cubed announces the latest release of its Hidden Line Manager (HLM), the most widely deployed component for hidden line computation. With the HLM, excellent performance is achieved without compromising accuracy or reliability. The HLM is compatible with any application as it is independent of any particular modeller or model format. New enhancements specific to version 36.0 are listed below. See the full product description.
The HLM supports instances where several identical parts in different locations are represented by spatial transforms from a single reference part. This reduces the memory required to store the model and enables changes to instanced parts to be more easily propagated around the model. This release sees performance enhancements in assemblies that contain many instanced parts. This is achieved by re-using certain hidden line computations from a particular instance of a part across many other instances of that same part.
First released in 1999, the HLM is the most widely deployed hidden line solution in the CAD field. It accurately computes hidden line views, engineering drawings and technical illustrations of parts and assemblies with exceptional performance, reliability and functionality. Independent from any modeller or model format, the HLM operates on exact, faceted, solid or surface representations in any application.
D-Cubed software is part of the PLM Components suite of solutions and represents a family of geometric software components that enable key functionality in CAD, CAM, CAE, and PLM applications, including sketching, part and assembly modeling, motion simulation, collision detection, clearance measurement and hidden-line visualization.
