How to restore the rotation curve
The Revolve Outline command can be used to restore the rotation curve with just a few clicks. And this works with a parametric model as well as with a non-parametric model (step). And so complex parts become simple turned parts again.

Target value optimization
The Optimization command can be used to find the target value using automated tests.
Normally, the variables change the result in a calculable way. But if the constraints are very complex, the desired result must be determined through testing. A parameter is adjusted until a measurement corresponds to the target value. The number of tests, calculation time and tolerance can be set.

Show center of gravity in model, assembly and drawing
The center of gravity (center of mass) for a model or assembly can be created associatively using the Measure command. To show the center of gravity in a drawing, it must be in the reference set model, and with the help of layers it is shown in selected views.
