When LIVEsearch is enabled, the model is scanned on the fly in the background and geometrically similar parts are filtered from a specified search area and shown in the dialog area LIVEsearch. Once a CAD feature is finished, a new search is executed and the search results are updated.
So the designer gets information on already available parts for a possible reuse or on adequate purchased parts.
At each change of the model, in the dialog area LIVEsearch, adequate parts are displayed.
The dialog is shown for a moment (time is adjustable, see below). When clicking on Show results of LIVEsearch, he display is called again.
Loading results: The respective button (depending on settings) can be found on the right in the LIVEsearch dialog.
