Spec Modes

Relative vs Absolute

The purpose of any tolerance analysis model is to add measures to evaluate an area of concern. When adding measures in 3DCS the user has two options when it comes to Spec Modes. In most cases "Relative" spec mode will display the measurement data correctly. In other instances, the user will need to utilize the "Absolute" Spec Mode for a measurement to display correctly.

This video will highlight two different types of measurement scenarios. One of which will demonstrate when the Relative Spec Mode is the ideal choice to use and the other when to use Absolute as the proper Spec Mode. The video also discusses the difference between the Spec Modes and discuss why using one mode or the other is appropriate.

-- Restore Backup --

For almost every 3DCS user, there will come a time when they need to recover a model in a previously saved state. Whether the CAD platform crashed during a long gap between saves, their model was accidentally saved in a newer version of 3DCS, or something was accidentally deleted, having the ability to revert the model back to an acceptable state is a very useful tool.

The Restore Backup capability is a little-known tool within 3DCS. This video intends to shine a light on that feature and show the user how and when to use it. In this example, a model was accidentally saved in a newer version of 3DCS and there is a need to revert the model back the 3DCS version it was originally created in.
