GATE:
Graphical And Topological Editor (GATE) is a parametric graphics program. GATE permits entry of drawing parameters in a spreadsheet format using constants as well as formulas.

Drawing Conversion:
Drawing conversion is classified into the following levels:

Level 1:

Cleaning and modifying a scanned (raster) drawing --- Drawing is returned as a raster image

Level 2:

Raster image is converted into a vector drawing (typically AutoCAD) --- Drawing will not necessarily be to exact scale

Level 3:

Raster image is converted into a vector drawing --- Drawing will be to exact scale

Level 4.1:

Standard parts and all tolerances are modified to match ISO or specified standards

Level 4.2:

In addition to level 4.1, dimensions are also rationalized to preferred numbers

Level 5:

A complete product range is designed

Features and dimensions of similar parts of different models or sizes are related by formulas to ensure consistency and freedom from errors

Animation:

3-D solid modeling and animation from 2-D drawings

Used for:

Sales presentations Training of maintenance personnel
