Show or hide assigned assemblies for background parts

You can show and hide assigned assemblies for background parts in the Viewer panel on the Process Planning and Work Instructions Authoring pages.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, verify that:

• Your work package has an engineering bill of materials (EBOM) associated to it.

• You have assigned objects as background parts in the work package.

Procedure

1. Open an existing work package, or create one and open it, and then navigate to the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page.

2. Click the Background Parts tab, and then click Show Selected to select items that you want to display in the 3D viewer.

Teamcenter Easy Plan shows the background parts as transparent images, and shows assembly parts in full color so that you can quickly distinguish between them in the viewer. Teamcenter Easy Plan synchronizes the display between the 3D viewer and the assembly tree. If you select an item in the 3D viewer, Teamcenter Easy Plan highlights that item in the assembly tree. If you select an item in the assembly tree, Teamcenter Easy Plan highlights that item in the 3D viewer.

3. (Optional) Click Hide Selected to hide the background parts in the 3D viewer.
