Magnacads IronCAD Customer Handbook 2025

Aero

Basically, a straight sided tear shape.

Angled  Bracket

This shape can be dropped as a Part or Add Intellishape to create a "L" type bracket. The angle of the bracket  can be altered using the direct 2D dimension constraint.

Arc

Additive shape of a thick arc that can be adjusted by entering cross section and pulling on bottom corners and editing necessary dimensions. 

Barb

A simple shape to help generate flexible looking parts for concept rendering.

Block Sym LW

An additive BLOCK shape that is set to be symmetrical about its Length and Width handles

Bullet

An additive shape. The Bullet shape is basically a capped cylinder that will automatically maintain the full radius cap when diameter is resized

Cam

An additive CAM shape that can be resized with sizebox handles to maintain symmetry or use Shape handles to resize dynamically.

Cylinder Shelled

A standard Cylinder shape that has a shell value of .062" assigned at the Intellishape™ level. Simply go to "Surface Reshaping Properties" > Shell and enter the desired shelling value. 

Bullet Double

An additive shape. The Double Bullet shape is basically a capped cylinder at both ends that will automatically maintain the full radius cap when diameter is resized

Dovetail 

Dovetial additive shape that is Direct Dimension driven. Simply drag to an edge and the dovetail will extend thru the part. The default angle on is 45⁰ to fit the more common standards, of course it can be edited via direct dimension.

Edge Protector

Additive shape profile of a common edge protector extrusion. Use as an IntelliShape or Standalone part.

EtP Block

This is a standard Block shape that with automatically Extend thru the Part as a positive shape in the forward direction. You can edit the cross-section to achieve the desired shape needed.

EtP Cylinder

This is a standard Cylinder shape that with automatically Extend thru the Part as a positive shape in the forward direction. You can edit the cross-section to achieve the desired shape needed.

ExNext1

An additive shape that will extrude a block feature in the forward direction to the next available face that intersects with it. If you enlarge feature enough to bypass the original target face, it will extrude to the next available face blocking its path.

Funnel Turn

An additive spin IntelliShape™ that provides 2 cylinder ends with a BSpline middle form shape. Bspline defaults to perpendicular tangency to cylinders, however you can edit cross-section to edit as desired.

Funnel Turn Flats

An additive spin IntelliShape™ that provides 2 cylinder ends with a BSpline middle form shape. Bspline defaults to perpendicular tangency to cylinders, however you can edit cross-section to edit as desired. This shape has both ends with a straight ( flat) face of cylinder and the shape is driven by profile dimensions that can edited as desired. 

Half Moon

Additive counter part to the Subtractive “Half Moon”. This feature is dimension driven.

HalfTaperHole

Additive Intellishape™/Part of angled hole bracket typically used for bracketry. A concentric constraint is applied to the Radius and Hole.

H Beam

Additive shape of H-Beam or I-Beam that uses direct dimension editability.

Holes Centered

A Block with 2 holes that remain centered after editing Sizebox handles. You can edit the Holes size and distance using the driving dimensions

Island

The "Island" shape is the positive feature to the "H Pocket". We set the Height sizebox handle to  active so upon drop you can enter the height of Island immediately. Corner radii are design variations.

Label Holder

A generic additive shape typically found in UPC label holders and various signage displays. Edit to suit.

Loft_Circular

A lofted additive shape with circular start and end cross-sections. Ideal to transition between to Intellishapes. Commonly used with the "Associate to Face" option.

3 Section LOFT

We created a new loft intellishape that was developed with 3 cross-sections. This provides a head start to your lofting needs. You edit the intellishape using standard practices.

Loft_Rectangular

A lofted additive shape with rectangular start and end cross-sections. Ideal to transition between to Intellishapes. Commonly used with the "Associate to Face" option.

Pull Tab

Additive shape profile to mimic the fabric pull tags found on some apparell.

R Block

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Block but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Cone

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Cone but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Cylinder

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Cylinder but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Ellipse

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Ellipse but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Pie

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Pie but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Poly

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Poly but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Slab

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Slab but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

R Slot

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Slot but the extrude direction is reversed so as extrude into material. the "R" is prefix for "Reverse"

Rectangular  Shelled

A standard Block shape that has a shell value of .062" assigned at the Intellishape™ level. Simply go to "Surface Reshaping Properties" > Shell and enter the desired shelling value. 

Rib-Free

An additive Block shape that extends to next face in both the forward and backward conditions. Use handles free-form to modify size.

Rib-Taper

An additive Block shape that extends to next face in both the forward and backward conditions. Use driving dimensions to modify Draft (Taper), Rib Width, and Rib Height.

Solid Torus

Stave

A spun feature with an arc to develop a shape similar to a barrel stave.

Stepped Turn

A simple shape to help create bases for stands that can be easily modified to suit size and shape

Taper Turn

 An additive feature using the spin command and allows that angle or draft of the feature to be adjusted via direct dimensional constraints. Height is editing normally.

Teardrop

Simple Teardrop shape that can be resized as desired.

Text

An additive IntelliShape™ that allows you to add text to any model using the standard Text tool when editing the Cross-section.

Tombstone

An additive shape which is basically half of a slot. Use shape handles to edit length and sizedox handels for width.

Turn

An additive cylinder shape that's created using a spin feature so you can edit the spin rotation, Outer Diameter and Inner Diameter as well as Height.

V Torus

This is similar to the standard IronCAD Torus but the cross-section geometry is triangular versus circular.

Wedge

An additive block shape where you can edit the wedge angle and length via dimension-driven constraints. 

Loop Offset

Direct Dimension Driven IntelliShape that adds a positive shape to an existing part or use as

standalone part. Edit dimensions as desired.

Loop Single
