Toolbars available in the Graphics view
| Use this toolbar | To |
|---|---|
| 3D Alignment | Move individual parts or groups of parts and align them to other parts in the viewer. |
| 3D Appearance | Work with advanced appearance attributes. |
| 3D CAE Viewing | View Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) Finite Element Analysis (FEA) results. |
| 3D Clearance | Check the clearance of parts in your model. |
| 3D Comparison | Compare the geometry of two sets of parts. |
| 3D Coordinate System | Create and manage coordinate systems. You can also align parts or your view to a coordinate system. |
| 3D Display Modes | Control the display mode of geometry in the viewer. You can display geometry as shaded, tessellated lines, feature lines, or any combination of these. Tessellation or feature lines hidden by other geometry can be viewed as normal, semi-transparent, or invisible. |
| 3D GDT Markup | Insert GD&T markups on your 3D models. |
| 3D Markup | Add text or graphical elements on your 3D model in the viewer. |
| 3D Measurement | Measure your 3D model. |
| 3D Movie Capture | Capture the contents of the viewer as you move the camera around, show or hide parts, transform parts, play animation sequences, and play VFM motion files associated with your model. |
| 3D Navigation | Manipulate the 3D view. |
| 3D PMI | Display and control Product and Manufacturing Information (PMI) in your model. Note PMI functionality is available only when PMI is enabled on your system. If PMI is enabled, you can right-click a part and choose one of the following commands: Show PMI Shows all effective PMI on the selected part or subassembly and its children. Toggle in PMI Tree Adds PMI from the selected part or subassembly and its children to the PMI tree. Alternatively, if the part or subassembly is already in the PMI tree, Teamcenter removes it. |
| 3D Part Manipulation | Manipulate parts by dragging. |
| 3D Part Transformation | Translate, rotate, and scale parts in your model. |
| 3D Section | Work with cross-sections of your 3D model. |
| 3D Selection | Pick part entities. |
| 3D Standard Views | Examine your model from different views. |
| 3D Thrustline Editor | Create and manipulate thrustlines. |
| 3D Visibility | Hide obscuring parts and clip areas of your model. |
| Create Markup | Create product views, capture an image of the current geometry or show or hide the 3D PMI tree. |
| Print an image or display a print preview. |
