Imagine & Shape in a Nutshell
|
 |
The Imagine & Shape product is a
new-generation tool dedicated to the creation of shapes in a very fast and
easy way.
Using this product allows the user to concretize his imagination and get
also the benefit of paintings created using the Sketch Tracer product.
As a scalable product, Imagine & Shape can be used in cooperation with
other products such as Part Design, Generative Shape Design and
FreeStyle. Therefore, the global process can be dramatically reduced as
there is no data interruption between styling and engineering. |
Before Reading this Guide

| Before reading this guide, you should be
familiar with basic Version 5 concepts such as document windows, standard
and view toolbars. Therefore, we recommend that you read the
Infrastructure User's Guide that describes generic capabilities common
to all Version 5 products. It also describes the general layout of V5 and
the interoperability between workbenches. You may also like to read the
