第四代设计（4GD）管理系统的优势

4GD has several advantages over previous generations of data management systems:
; t, q- ?7 e' G• Flexible organization of design data
/ s! b! Z( G4 F6 I1 R* V7 yThe collaborative design content can change dynamically as the design evolves.
- @' k0 C2 g, K9 q' O$ VDesigners are not limited to viewing the product in predefined subassemblies.
• Independent lifecycles
Each design element has its own lifecycle. You are not limited by the lifecycle
of traditional assemblies. Each design element has its revision and status.
Likewise, the CAD design owns its position and geometry.
- P' H6 @% ^4 Z% O• Multiple hierarchical views

view a component, you must load its parent assembly. Using 4GD, a design

• Very large data sets

• Minimal data locking

Because designers access the design elements in their workset using a dynamic
