Working with Creo View

The Structure tab of Creo View contains the commands and actions that are used to work with the Windchill MPMLink browsers. These commands and actions are displayed in the Structure tab context menu. To access the Structure tab’s context menu, right-click inside the tab. For information on the standard Creo View context menus, refer to the online help.

Command

Description

Save

Updates the open representation of a Windchill MPMLink object that has been modified.

Save As Representation

Saves the current Creo View session as a representation of the selected object in the navigation pane.

Copy

Copies all selected objects to the clipboard. Objects can then be pasted into other Windchill MPMLink explorers.

Update Geometry

Updates the content (structure and geometry) of the representation in Creo View with the latest content from the Windchill database based on the filter used at the time the representation was initially created.

This only works if the representation has initially been created and saved from Creo View.

Select Corresponding Usage

Used to select all objects that have the same usage as the selected object in the structure. For example, if a Child Assembly has two occurrences of Part A associated to it, selecting this action selects both parts in the structure.

Remove Same Objects From Viewer

Removes all objects with the same identification as the selected object, and all related geometry from the Creo View.

Remove Selected Objects Instance From Viewer

Removes the selected objects and their associated geometry from the Creo View.

Refresh Control Characteristics

Control characteristics are not immediately propagated to Creo View. Selecting this option displays a control characteristic that has been added in an Windchill MPMLink explorer in Creo View.

New Control Characteristics

Opens the New Control Characteristic window.
