Getting started with standard text editor

You can locate standard text libraries using My Teamcenter or with the Teamcenter Search view and send them to Manufacturing Process Planner or Part Planner.

The following items are associated with each standard text element (after adding text to it and saving it):

• Preview file When you click the standard text element, the standard text view displays a preview. Preview files are in one of the following formats: PDF, MHT, DOCX, or RTF, as defined in the MEWiPreviewFormat preference. The preview file is updated with the latest information you entered in the standard text document. Note Preview files in MHT format do not display the headers and footers.

The preview file is not visible in the library structure. However, you can double-click it in the Teamcenter Attachments view to open it in its associated application. For example, if the preview file is stored in PDF format, it opens in a PDF reader.

• Document When you enter edit mode, Teamcenter closes the preview file and loads the live standard text document. All the data you enter is stored in this file. The standard text document is not visible in the library structure.
