Our 3D CAD supplier models have been moved to 3Dfindit.com, the new visual search engine for 3D CAD, CAE & BIM models.
You can log in there with your existing account of this site.
The content remains free of charge.
The table view shows the comparison for:
In the Tabular Compare window beside the attributes checkboxes are displayed.
When you activate a checkbox, then in the 3D comparison the respective attribute is visualized.
In the column header you can find the following icons:
At parts, which are found via Geometric search (3D) and are transferred into the Part comparison, there, in the Tabular Compare section the geometric similarity is overtaken and displayed as well.[58]
If several searches are performed one after another, the percent values of previous, outdated searches are displayed in brackets. At mouseover on an outdated value, the respective information is displayed.
Open: Right-click anywhere in the desired column.
In the context menu the following commands are available:

For a logical 3D comparison, change the properties so that the compared parts possess about the same dimension.
Load any native file (specific CAD file or neutral format) in the Compare dialog.
A number of formats can be opened: [59]
If there is an ambiguity for a file extension, an additional dialog box appears.
Ambiguities are possible for a file
extension such as .prt
for example, which is
used by Creo Elements and NX as well, furthermore for several
versions of a CAD system.
In the list field select the desired system and the desired version.
Then the dialog box Selection for unit opens.
In the list field, select the correct unit: mm, cm, dm , m, INCH, FEET, INCH/10, INCH/100
