The command is only available in the table.
Especially in own part catalogs, where heterogeneous parts with quite different look are collected in a classification project, sorting of the table by geometrical similarity is helpful.
This command is only available at project level. The view sketches are automatically created. These can be modified in the sketcher and then be used for a sketch search.
See Section 3.1.1.6.4.5.2.2, “ Create sketches automatically from 3D and modify ”.
This command is only available at project level. The respective part is transferred to the Cloud Navigator as root node and then directly the search method Geometric search (3D) is performed.
The menu item Purchineering has the following subitems:

In PARTdataManager, Part selection, you can find the Analyses tab providing the function Document scan.
Herewith you can perform two things:
Check up-to-dateness of PARTsolutions parts of an assembly loaded in the CAD
Analysis, which parts of an assembly are own parts and which are PARTsolutions parts
Apply Purchineering analysis functions to the result structure (plus manually added further parts as an option)
Via Add to analysis... additional directories and projects can be involved in the analysis.
Detailed information on this can be found under Section 3.1.2.2, “ Document scan / Analyses ”.
