CAD CATALOG

+ ASSISTANT

Philipp Weber

Since the beginning of this year, our online CAD catalog has a
new and important icon. This is the “Login” button, which can be
found on the right side in the upper page area. In order to use the
associated functions, an “AHP account” is required. A one-time
registration is required for the setup. This login is independent
from CADENAS as well as their online platform “PARTcommuni-
ty”, and therefore only for AHP Merkle. This offer results in inter-
esting features that are not available to a guest user.
Function overview of the CAD catalog and assistant:

and designs with the calculation assistant, configure cylinders and
generate CAD data.

standard parts

with the real degrees of freedom
