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:
Topological parameters are color-marked so that you can see the most important ones at a glance.
Explicitly searched topological attributes are marked in yellow color by default, as it is in the search results.
Those topological parameters which can be marked in the 3D view (Inner cylinders, Outer cylinders for example), have a checkbox in the listing under Tabular Compare.
If you activate a checkbox then the respective parameter is color-marked both in the Tabular Compare and in the 3D comparison. Different parameters get different colors (regardless of whether they have been automatically or manually marked)
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.[66]
Open: Right-click anywhere in the desired column.
In the context menu the following commands are available:
[compare icon above ]
The corresponding column is displayed with a green background color.

Switches to the row view (see following figure)
By clicking on , the display changes to the export state.
For a logical 3D comparison, change the properties so that the compared parts possess about the same dimension.
Unselect all topological features
For example, at the topology search markings according to the search parameters are automatically set. You can easy remove these all at once with this command.
Load any native file (specific CAD file or neutral format) in the Compare dialog.
A number of formats can be opened: [67]
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
Pin name column | Pin description column | Pin preview header
In order to keep in view the important during vertical and horizontal scrolling, it possibly makes sense to fix the columns "Symbol" and/or "Description" [horizontal scrolling] and/or the complete preview line [vertical scrolling].
In the Tabular Compare section call the context menu and activate the desired option.
[66] You can configure, whether the geometric similarity shall be displayed. See Section 1.7.4.4.2.1, “ Key "DisplayGeoDistances" - Tabular Compare - Display geometric similarity ” in PARTsolutions / PARTcommunity4Enterprise - Administration Manual.
[67] The number depends on the installed CAD systems.
