Publish occurrence information

You can capture transformation and shape information on a source design occurrence and publish it to the destination part occurrence.

Procedure

1. Select the structure line corresponding to the source design occurrence.

2. Choose Tools→Structure Alignment→Publish Data.The system displays the Publish Data dialog box.

3. Select the transform check box to publish transform data or the shape check box to publish shape data and click OK. You can select both transform and shape data, if appropriate.Tip When you publish only transform data, the transformation values for the design and part structures match, but the transformation is not applied to the part in the graphics window.

When you publish both transform and shape data, both are updated.

Teamcenter checks if a publish link already exists for the selected source. If it exists, Teamcenter locates the destination occurrence with the same logical identify and publishes a snapshot of the selected information to it. If it does not exist, you are prompted to create the necessary publish link, as described in Create a publish link.

4. If the underlying revisions of the part occurrence and design occurrence are not already associated globally, Teamcenter prompts you to associate them. Click Yes to create the global association; otherwise click No.

Note

Teamcenter validates that the logical identity of the part and design occurrences are the same if a logical identity is defined for the design occurrence. If not, it terminates the publish process. If the design occurrence has no logical identity, Teamcenter sets the usage address and position designator to the same as that of the part occurrence.
