It does this by working with\nhigher level geometric data and not individual curves. Examples include\noffsetting loops while inserting, extending and trimming edges, adding\nconstraints to loops rather than to individual curves, and solving the shape of\nloops while maintaining their perimeter length or area. PGM is often used to\nadd capabilities to a 2D DCM-based sketcher.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key enhancements introduced in version 71.0 of D-Cubed PGM (Profile Geometry Manager) are described below.
