Rapid Part PlacementRapid Part Placement
Reduced InputReduced Input-Omits the part selection step on matching part-May be cumbersome with numerous parts
Flash FitFlash Fit-Assumes a Mate (plane to plane)-Assumes an Axial Align (cylinder to cylinder)
Capture FitCapture Fit-Stores the relationships of the placement part-Place part by selecting matching surfaces-Efficient for common parts (bolts, brackets, etc.)
