Update a product view

Caution

The relevant product structures must always be loaded when working with product views. Not loading the product structures can lead to unexpected results.

Note

This command will not work without a Teamcenter lifecycle visualization mockup license.

Procedure

  1. Open the Graphics view.

  2. Find the product view you want to update.

  3. In the Search Results section, select a product view.

  4. Click the Apply button or choose Apply from the shortcut menu to load the product view that contains the new or changed part into the Graphics view.

  5. Click the Update button or choose Update from the shortcut menu.

Teamcenter checks out the product view, updates it with the new or changed part, and highlights the row in the Product View list green to indicate that the selected product view is updated. If there is an error, Teamcenter highlights the row in red. The highlighting is displayed for the current session only.

  1. (Optional) Click View Log to see a log of the update activity. Teamcenter lists any errors encountered in this log.

Results

Caution

  • Teamcenter cannot update product views that are checked out by another person or ones containing a release status.

  • This mechanism does not find product views attached to parts newly added to the product structure. You must update these manually.
