Viewing objects in 4GD

When working with 4GD objects within Manufacturing Process Planner, there are two types of viewers with which you work. The 4GD 3D viewer is embedded in the Content Explorer. This viewer allows you to view all objects associated with 4GD data.

For all other structures with which you work in manufacturing, you can continue to use the Graphic view that you open from a primary structure view. When you open this view, Teamcenter adds a Graphics menu to the toolbar.

You can open both of these viewers simultaneously.
