How to approach this?
(OP)
I did some redesigning of a plastic part. The lead engineer asked that I check the thinnest regions of plastic and compare them to the current design.
I know this is very vague. Is there a function that will automatically locate and measure the thinnest regions?
The only other approach I see is picking "random" regions and measuring manually.
Suggestions?

If you have a Classic package and a fairly recent version, you could use FEMAP express (Applications/simulation). It will help you to detect the weak areas.

copied from another NG (when FEMAP Xpress is not available
or not familar with FEM):
Q&D Method: Drive a dynamic Clipping Plane through the part and
inspect visually. Then select 90° plane & do same again.
Slow, kludgy method: Create sections every x mm and throw these
onto a single Draft sheet. This is INSPECTABLE, at least ...
