D-Cubed Profile Geometry Manager (PGM) enables applications to create, modify, measure and constrain 2D profiles consisting of open or closed series of connected edges, such as offset profiles and nested profiles.
Available as a component for integration by software vendors, D-Cubed PGM provides advanced sketching operations in 2D/3D CAD systems and helps to automate toolpath creation in CAM systems.

Available as a component for integration by software vendors, D-Cubed PGM provides advanced sketching operations in 2D/3D CAD systems and helps to automate toolpath creation in CAM systems.
PGM automatically generates valid 2D offset profiles on points, lines, circles, ellipses, splines, general parametric curves, and offset curves.
Gaps that arise between adjacent edges in an offset loop are automatically capped using a choice of capping techniques. Offset edges that shrink to zero length/radius, and any intersecting geometry is automatically trimmed, including self-intersecting offsets, offsets ellipses, and splines.
PGM identifies closed loops of edges. Applications can use this functionality to detect and optionally hatch closed regions of interest in a sketch.
PGM can also measure the length and/or area of loops. When used in conjunction with D-Cubed 2D DCM, these loop properties can be constrained as part of a fully parametric sketch. Applications can solve geometric constraints between loops and other sketch geometry, including other loops.
