Create graphics for a resource

When an object is classified under a storage class that is associated with an NX part family template or template part, you can create a part family member and related graphics corresponding to the ICO.

Perform the following steps to create a new part family member and/or graphic for a resource:

Procedure

1. Click the Create/Update graphic from ICO button . Teamcenter displays the Create/Update Graphic dialog box.

2. Click the Part family template or Template part tab, depending on the type of template you are using.

3. Select the template from the Template list.

   Caution Teamcenter lists any mapped attributes that have not been assigned a value. You must assign values to the listed attributes to create graphics from them.

4. Select Create part file to create a PRT file.

5. Select Create JT file to create a JT file.

   Note If you do not choose to create the part or JT files at this time, Teamcenter creates a new part family member and adds it to the template. You can create the files in a subsequent session using Teamcenter Integration for NX.

6. Click Create/Update.The system creates a new item and an item revision that contains the part files. The name of this new item is the same as the object ID of the newly created ICO. The newly created ICO classifies the item revision. If you create graphics based on part family templates and you revise the item that contains the part file, you must revise all part family members so that the members all have the same revision as the top item.There are several considerations when you are updating template parts.
