Solid Edge integration 3Dfindit.com for Solid Edge gives engi- neers a wide variety of intuitive search methods, making it easy to find the exact part they are looking for. Users can cre- ate a rough model in Solid Edge and initi- ate a geometric search in 3Dfindit.com to find parts that are similar to the model. Once the proper part is located, a single click places it directly into the active Solid Edge assembly.

Replacing assembly components is just as easy. Engineers simply choose the com- ponent to replace, then Solid Edge searches 3Dfindit.com for a matching part from a different supplier or for a dif- ferent size and/or material. Solid Edge automatically replaces the component once the desired result is selected in 3Dfindit.com. Users in a workgroup can download parts to a shared folder location to avoid dupli- cates if the same part is downloaded again from 3Dfindit.com by another Finding the component you need is as simple as drawing a sketch. engineer.
