Import objects in the Teamcenter format

Procedure

1. Select the container object into which the objects will be imported.
2. Choose Tools→Import→Objects. The system displays the Import dialog box.
3. Click the Teamcenter button in the left pane of the window.
4. In the Importing Object box, click Browse to locate and select a folder or file from the system directory.
5. If you selected a directory or file containing Teamcenter objects, the objects are displayed in the Object List. Select the objects that you want to import using one of the following methods:
   • Click the check boxes to select individual objects in the list.
   • Click Select All to select all importable objects in the folder.
   • Click All But to select all objects except those that are currently selected.
   • Click Select None to clear all object selections.
6. (Optional) Choose from the following report options (offered in addition to the operation log file):
   • Generate Import Report — Generates a report listing the objects that were imported. The system displays the report after the successful completion of the import operation.
   • Preview Import Report — Performs a "dry run" of the import operation. The resulting report lists the objects that would be imported, as well as any problems that are encountered.
   • Continue on Error — Allows the import operation to continue if errors are encountered while importing optional objects. All objects are considered optional except those with the following relation types: Requirement, Specification, Item Master, Item Revision Master. If errors are encountered, a completion report is generated even if the Generate Import Report option is not selected.
7. Click Apply to start the import operation and retain the dialog box, or click OK to start the import operation and exit the dialog box.

When the import operation has successfully completed, you can review the log file.
