Administering standard text

Set up standard text

Procedure

  1. Using Teamcenter Environment Manager, install the standard text templates. By default, the same template is used by both the Standard Text and Textual Work Instructions views; however, you can set up the system to use different templates for each view.

Note During installation, Teamcenter imports the following work instruction templates to Teamcenter Environment Manager:

Default_WIObjectTemplate.docx

STX_TC91OOTB_spec_template

WI_TC91OOTB_spec_template

TWI_TC101OOTB_spec_template

TWIfor3DPDF_TC101OOTB_spec_template

During installation, Teamcenter updates the MEWiStandardTextTemplate preference that defines the template to be used by the Standard Text view and the MEWiWorkInstructionTemplate preference that defines the template to be used by the Textual Work Instructions view. These preferences enable you to use different templates for the Standard Text and Textual Work Instructions views. Both preferences are updated to the TWI_TC101OOTB_spec_template value.
If the textual work instructions are created to be used as part of the 3DPDF Rich Textual Work Instructions report, set the MEWiWorkInstructionTemplate preference to TWIfor3DPDF_TC101OOTB_spec_template.
