Load 4GD objects in Manufacturing Process Planner

You can load subset definitions in Manufacturing Process Planner. When you open a subset definition, it is opened in the Content Explorer and Teamcenter adds a node for it in the Collaboration Context Tree view. The name of the subset definition is also added to the Open Items list.

Although you can open other types of collaborative design objects in the Content Explorer in Manufacturing Process Planner, these are for reference purposes only. Manufacturing Process Planner does not recognize them. You can load multiple subset definitions simultaneously. You can also load the same subset definition multiple times. Any changes made in a Content Explorer view are then reflected in the other views containing the same subset definition.

Do one of the following:

Open the subset definition by name.

In the toolbar, click Open by Name .

Click the Open Subset by name button.

Type the name of the subset definition. You can use wildcard characters to facilitate your search.

Click Search or press the Enter key. All subset definitions that match your search criteria are listed in the table.

Double-click a subset definition in the table. The subset definition is opened in the Content Explorer.

Send a subset definition to Manufacturing Process Planner.You can load a subset definition as part of a collaboration context or as a stand-alone object.
Open a subset definition from within the Content Explorer by doing one of the following.

Click the name in the link in the header.

Right-click the subset definition and choose Open With→Content Explorer.

Select the subset definition from the list of recently viewed objects in an empty Content Explorer.
