Send a product view to an external viewer

Select one or more product views in the structure tree and choose File→Open in TcVis or right-click and choose Send to→Lifecycle Viewer.

The selected viewer opens the product view with a configured structure. If you already have a 3D document active, Teamcenter allows you to open your product view or merge it into the active document, if the formats are compatible.

Note

This method is not available if an incremental change is applied to the structure.

You can also select multiple product views in the product view gallery and send them to the Lifecycle Viewer or stand-alone Lifecycle Visualization. The product views open one at a time and any configuration of the original structure is retained.
