Parts List Images
Servigistics InService enables you to view an image of the parts included in a parts list. You can also view an image of an individual part on the
part information page. The following image formats are supported:
• Non-interactive images
Servigistics InService supports the following regular image formats:
◦ GIF
◦ JPEG
◦ PNG
These types of images display in Servigistics InService without requiring a plugin.
• Interactive images
Interactive images provide a toolbar that enables you to interact with the image. You can select parts of the image, move the image, zoom in and out, and so forth. Servigistics InService supports the following interactive images:
◦ CGM
◦ IDRZ
◦ ISO
◦ PVZ
◦ SVG
Viewing interactive images other than SVG requires the Creo View browser plugin for browsers that support plugins. If you view a parts list image in one of these formats and do not have the required plugin installed, Servigistics InService displays a message asking whether to install or update the plugin.
For browsers that do not support plugins, PVZ interactive images display in the ThingView viewer. For other interactive images in this case, you have the option to download the image.
• Document format images
Servigistics InService supports the following images delivered in electronic document formats:
◦ DjVu
◦ PDF
For browsers that do not support the document format natively, you must install a plugin to view this type of image, before Servigistics InService can display images in this format. For example, you would install Adobe Reader to view PDF images.
Servigistics InService can also provide multiple images for a parts list. If more than one image is available for a parts list, you can open other images from the Sheet: drop-down list at the top right of the image area. The arrows in the viewer also enable you to move back and forth between the images. If a single image contains multiple images, you can select the image to view from the Figure: drop-down list. Note that the ThingView viewer does not support multiple images.
