Managing intermediate data captures
Edit an IDC
You can edit the content of an IDC by adding or removing a root object, or by updating it to a new state.
If you change a file that an IDC references, Teamcenter keeps a copy of the original file so the integrity of the IDC is maintained.
Procedure
Send the IDC to Multi-Structure Manager.
Click the Viewer tab. The viewer shows the state of the captured data and the root object that the IDC contains. You can then do any of the following:
Click Add State and create a new state from the captured root objects.
Click Remove State and remove a state from the captured root objects.
Click Update State to update the IDC from the currently selected root objects.
