Search for parts

The mode "Search for parts" especially suits for Geometric search (3D), Sketch search (2D) and Topology search.

This mode is also important when company parts catalogs are searched, because often heterogeneous parts with completely different shapes are collected in a classification project.

In the case of Full-text search this option makes sense, when specific table variables are used or the search is combined with a Variables search and thus the search delivers specific characteristics.

Search for parts and part families

Select this mode, when you do not want to find a specific characteristic in the first step, but just want to find adequate part families.
