Part inspection is model verification software used on shop floor for manufactured sheet metal model validation. It is an SDI graphics application providing features like bending information display, hole chart, dimensioning etc. for model verification. The model can be viewed in 3D as well as in 2D (model’s orthographic views) and especially in 2D, more rigorous verification is possible by using editing features like guideline editing, text comments entry – features unavailable in 3D view mode. Additionally, 2D view has two more features – hidden-lines-removed mode viewing and auto-zoom selection window. In hidden-lines-removed mode, all the geometry that becomes obscured in a particular projection will not be displayed, presenting a realistic viewing mode. Auto-zoom selection feature is useful when selection becomes difficult due to cluttered geometry – an ambiguous selection throws up a window showing a zoomed-in view near the point of selection and it keeps zooming with each selection until a precise selection is made. 2D editor with all its features were packaged into an ActiveX component – xBmViews control. Section view of the model is an important feature in 3D view.
