    • What are "Files"? -- How does the logic structure of an order look like?

      Files = Order items + Order item components

      The two following figures exemplify the logic structure of an assembly order and a part order by reference to the CAD formats AutoCAD, Inventor and STL.

      Orders, Order items= Assemblies or single parts in all formats, Order item components= Single parts of assemblies in all formats (not available for a single part)
