Plate'n'Sheet

Highlights Plate'n'Sheet Development Professional is a software program designed to unfold shapes commonly encountered by fabricators and sheet metal workers. The dimensions and other parameters that define the shape are entered by the user and may be any reasonable value. These may be altered at any time and the appearance shape will change dynamically. The shape may be viewed as either a 3D model or as a flat pattern at any stage of the process. Tools are supplied to zoom in or out to see the shape in detail. If it is being viewed as a model, several viewing angles (top, front, side, end and four isometric angles) are available at the click of a button and true length measurements may be taken from the model. Where possible, error messages will let you know if a parameter is not valid for the shape being created. Several dimensioning modes are available and the resultant pattern may be printed or exported as a DXF for use in other software.

Features

Drawing from Customer feedback, major changes were made to Plate'n'Sheet to provide more shapes and more options within the shapes and more additional features to make your job easier.

'Ease of use' is Plate'n'Sheet's guiding principle. Many additional new features are now available with no sacrifice to the program's original simplicity for the basic user.

• More shapes - In addition to Pipe to Pipe and Pipe to Cone, branches now include Cone to Cone, Cone to Oblique Cone, Cone to Pipe, Pipe to Oblique Cone, Rectangle to Cone, and many more.
  Multiple branches, with up to four pipes converging on a common intersection point.
  HVAC Rectangular Ducting (reducers, branches, Y's, T's). More Transitions.
  More Segmented bend options.
  Vessel End Caps (hemispherical, torispherical, semi elliptical).
  
• New Category Menu - Shapes are easier to find.
  Provides a better foundation for continuing expansion of the system.
• Material Thickness - Thickness setting is now more conveniently located.
• Improved Manual Dimensioning - New horizontal, vertical and offset dimensions.
• Improved Automatic Dimensioning - True lengths with separate Step-off dimensions around the top and base.
  Individual Auto Dimensions may now be deleted or modified for a more readable drawing.
• Now includes Bend Angles - New option now prints the angle between two faces along the press line.
• Router depth for the plastics industry
• Improved Printing - A Print Preview window now shows you exactly what you will get on the paper.
• Improved Viewing - Dynamic Pan and Zoom.
  Dynamically rotate the 3D model in real time.
• Improved Lap Join Settings - Easier to use. More accurate.
• Move and Rotate - Move individual patterns in compound shapes for more efficient use of material.
• Pattern Identification - Patterns may now be automatically stamped with the date, time, item number and project number if required.
• Area and Mass Calculation - Automatically calculate the rectangular area and mass.
  Automatically calculate the true area and mass of the cut shape.
• Material Cost - Speed up quoting by automatically calculating the cost of material.
  Includes a database that you can easily maintain with current material prices.
• Improved communication with AutoCAD - Dimensions and text now transfer as native AutoCAD objects.
  The 3D wire-frame model may be transferred to AutoCAD.
  The views of the model may now be transferred as 2D views.
