User's Guide

This User's Guide begins with a focus on the basic tools and on simple concepts. Discovery SpaceClaim is all about adding and manipulating the faces of a design model, primarily through pull and move operations. If there is a face, you can pull on it. If you need a new face, draw an edge or copy an existing one. Design2D or 3D model that contains at least one top-level component. clutter is minimized wherever possible. This guide communicates these simple, but powerful concepts so that you can extrapolate them to your real-world designs. This guide also provides useful shortcuts to use as you progress, as well as animations of tools in action to help you understand their function.

Discovery SpaceClaim is different, and we encourage you to open your mind and enter into a world where you can focus on the design, not the software. Discovery SpaceClaim appreciates your feedback, so let us know where we have succeeded and what we can do better. Thanks for your purchase and we look forward to working with you!
