4. 15 Tips for Passing Boeing D6-51991 Supplier Quality Audit
We quizzed one of our resident Boeing Digital Product Definition (DPD) experts to find out what's important in the eyes of the Boeing D6-51991 standard - the requirement that says any and all CAD data translations, CAD migrations or product data modifications must be validated against a master file.
Our expert gave us tons of information, and we did our best to capture it. And you don't even need to be a Boeing Supplier to benefit!

3. KeyCreator Essentials Online Training
Not everyone can spend an entire day in training classes when products need to be shipped. Our KeyCreator Essentials online training course was (and still is) a crowd-pleasing choice for users. KeyCreator Essentials offers training in manageable chunks over the course of two weeks. Plus, users can take the information they learn and immediately apply it to their processes. Win-win? We think so, too.

2. KeyCreator Upgrades
Many of our customers upgraded old seats of KeyCreator (and even CADKEY) in 2014. Motivating factor: updating old computers and operating systems - old software stopped working (but then again, why put old software on a sparkling new computer?) Users also wanted to take advantage of KeyCreator's latest translators, features & tools including CAD Comparison and new and improved Animation.
Great news! Special pricing is still available. Find out more.
