1. How can I carry out a Geometric Search with a reference model from file system or CAD?


You can carry out a geometric search based on a reference model from file system or CAD. Different neutral formats (STEP, IGES, JT, etc.) are possible and just as well native formats. When using native formats the CAD system has to be started.

  1. Click on Geometric search (3D).

    -> The same-named dialog box opens.

    • When clicking on Geometry from CAD, the part or assembly selected in CAD is loaded into the dialog.

    • When clicking on Load geometry, an Explorer window opens where you can browse to the desired geometry.

  2. Click on Commit. (When clicking on Commit and Search, the search is started immediately.)

  3. Possibly remove the check at the input field of Full-text search and then click on Start search.

    -> The results are listed.
