View parts with 3D data and trace links to systems

You can view 3D data (JT) associated with system blocks in the 3D tab. Conversely, you can view trace links associated with parts in the 3D tab.

Note: The BOM structure with 3D data (JT) must be under the same root node or the saved bookmark that is currently in the left-hand content pane. You must create either occurrence or revision-to-revision trace links from system blocks (logical blocks) to relevant parts or subassemblies in the BOM structure.

For complete information about working with 3D data, see Visualizing 3D Product Data.

The trace link appears as a green arrow between the system blocks.

Procedure

1. Select a system block.
2. Click the 3D tab to display the 3D data (JT).
3. To view trace links associated with a part, do the following:
   • Click a part in the 3D tab, and then open the Navigate Associated panel. A list displays that shows the items in-context that have trace links to the selected part.
   • Select an item in the panel to close the panel and display the selected item in the left-hand content panel.
