Launch the Verification Browser
Use the Verification Browser to inspect CAD data supplied from your design or CAD team.
The Verification Browser supports Offset, Intersection, Spot Weld, Connection, Spot Comparison, and Free Part checks. After performing the verification, results are exported to reports.
From the menu bar, click .
