Opening Objects from a Standalone Browser
When you are working in a standalone browser and an appropriate version of the CAD application is installed on your machine, you can open CAD documents in the CAD application. If a CAD application session is already running, the object is opened in your existing session. If no session is running, the action to open an object automatically launches the CAD application.
The action for opening CAD documents is available in Windchill generally where CAD documents are exposed. In addition to the workspace, these places include the:
• Folder page (when CAD documents are displayed).
• Search results page.
• Information page Structure tab.
• Product Structure report (when associated CAD documents are displayed).
The action can be initiated either by clickingOpen in<CAD application> in theActions column for the object, or selectingOpen in<CAD application> from an action menu.
