Generate an outline image

You can generate an outline image of a 3D object in the viewer, as follows:

Procedure Click the Capture 2D Image button on the viewer toolbar and Teamcenter displays the Image Capture dialog box. In the Image Capture dialog box, select the type of 2D image file you want to generate and click Apply or OK. Teamcenter calculates the 2D outline image and an outline progress meter displays the current status during this process. To create a hidden line image, select the Outline type from the File Type list, enter a name for the dataset under which the outline image is stored, and optionally enter an description of the dataset. On completion, Teamcenter attaches the 2D outline image in a CGM (Computer Graphics Metafile) file to a DirectModelMarkup dataset and places it in the NewStuff folder. You can then view and mark up this dataset in My Teamcenter. To view the 2D markup, you must first create a markup dataset on top of the 2D image by clicking the Open File button on the toolbar.
