Analyzing Updates

Operations such as moving components or editing constraints sometimes affect the integrity of the whole assembly. You then need to know what to do to restore a correct product. The application provides a tool for detecting if your assembly requires updates. This tool is particularly useful when working with large assemblies. | |||||||||
