Multiple Checks

Multiple Checks perform multiple checks using a single interface.

If the Offset check is ON, CAD data will be offset using thickness value. Offset CAD data will be used to check all other checks. Check and Reports are sequentially executed for each check. Offset, Intersection, Spotweld, Connection, Free Part check uses Base Model selection alone and ignores Variant model selections. The comparison function uses both Base Model and Variant Model selections. The check item's input rules are as per individual checks explained in respective check functions.
