Import PMI objects from a BCT Inspector file

BCT Inspector exports PMI objects from NX in an XML format that you can subsequently import into Teamcenter.

Note

You must use the following configuration settings:

• In the NX session, in the .ipxml file from BCT Inspector, set the PMI XML relation as a relation type to enable PMI import.

• A PMI dataset of the type ipxml should be attached with a PMI XML relation.

• In the BCT configuration file bct_inspector_cfg.xml, use the following settings: (<ExportProject Enable="1" DatasetType="Mci0PMIXml" DatasetNamedRev="Mci0ipxml" FileExtension="ipxml" batchProcessing="0" IgnoreBalloons="0" />)

• In Teamcenter, set the value of the preference INSPECTOR_DATASET_RELATION_TYPE to Mci0PMIXmlRel.

Procedure

1. From a product structure, right-click the part to which you want to import PMI information and choose Open with→PMI Manager.

2. In the PMI Manager view, click Import PMIs .

Teamcenter imports the PMI objects, places them on the appropriate parts, and extracts PMI information into the PMI property cells. You can now assign the PMI objects to operations.
