property values to a given record.
-
Open the datasheet for PVC (flexible, Shore A85).
-
Find materials that are similar to it.
In the toolbar, click Find Similar and confirm
changing the reference record, if prompted.
Available materials are ranked by their similarity to the reference material.
In this instance, calculations are based on the default nearness criteria
for this table.
-

listed.
In the Records similar to window, select TPU (Ether,
aliphatic, Shore A80) then click Comparison. The
