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.)
