Parameterized design and technological elements database
Design and technological database contains a large collection of parametric and object-dependent elements, including three-dimensional ones.
When you change parameters of one part, all associated object-dependent parts change automatically, and in accordance with their database values. This is a powerful tool for multivariate design, which guarantee to improve the design quality.
