    For QY CAD data management users who selected the option Automatically name files via Document Number and Revision, the system displays a dialog box where you can assign common properties, such as document number and revision number, as explained in Create documents with unique properties.

  • If interferences are detected, the volume of interference is displayed in the highlight color.

  • You can set output options using the Interference Options button on the command bar before you run the analysis.

  • You can check one set of parts against all of the other parts in the assembly by setting options on the Interference Options dialog box.

  • You can also check a set of parts against only those parts that are in the select set.
