Creating, viewing, and editing manufacturing documentation > Creating and editing publishing pages

Repopulate an asset

An asset that has been populated can be repopulated with a different Teamcenter component.

Procedure

Select the asset in the detached publishing page viewer.
Select the component in the rich client window, and choose Edit → Populate Asset in the publishing page window.
Switch between displaying the old and the new data by choosing Show Original Data and Show New Data from the asset's shortcut menu. The asset is in an uncommitted state. You cannot update the asset again or repopulate it while it is in this state.
Accept or reject the change by choosing Accept New Data or Accept Original Data from the asset’s shortcut menu. All of the assets on a page can be updated at once using the publishing page Edit → Update Technical Illustration menu command. Other Edit menus let you toggle the display and accept or reject the changes for all of the assets on the page at once.

Note You cannot update data in the database (other than the publishing page itself) by updating an asset. Assets can display only what is already in the database. To update a 3D asset, you must first update the snapshot dataset in the assembly viewer.
