Display images in the Graphics view

If an image is associated with the object selected in a structure view, opening the associated Graphics view displays that image.

The following image types are available in this view:

• DirectModelImported .jt files or .jt files created by the translators. These datasets containing these files must be attached to the item or item revision with a Rendering relation.

• DirectModelMarkupCaptured image of a DirectModel dataset.

• DrawingSheets and MarkupImported .cgm files.

• ImageImported .tif, .gif, .jpeg and similar file types.

When you open an image in the Graphics view, the Graphics menu is displayed in the menu bar.

Procedure

1. Right-click a line in the structure view and click in the view toolbar.Teamcenter opens the Graphics view associated with the structure view from which you open it.Note Do not confuse this assembly viewer with the viewers that you can open using the Open With shortcut menu command. The assembly viewer has more features that you can use to view and manipulate 3D assemblies.

2. Select the check boxes next to the components in the tree that you want to display in the Graphics view. If you select the root item, the entire structure is displayed. When you open the Graphics view, other views that display the hierarchy also display the check boxes that you can use to blank and display graphics. These check boxes are slightly different.The following states exist for the check boxes.

Check box

State

The part or assembly is fully loaded and visible.

The assembly component is fully loaded but only partly visible. This can be because a part is turned off or because geometry does not exist for one or more parts.

The assembly component is partially loaded and only partially visible.

All available geometry is visible, but geometry does not exist for every part.

The part or assembly is loaded but not visible.

No geometry exists for the selected part, or if this is a parent structure, it is not fully loaded and not visible.

Tip

If you want to display a single component in a large structure, additionally use the Viewer view that you open using the Open With shortcut menu command.
