Retrieve a structure's Unique Identifier (UID)

UIDs can often be used to identify structures in Teamcenter utilities such as accountability_check. Do the following to retrieve a structure's UID. Procedure Go to My Teamcenter and open the structure for which you want to retrieve the UID. Choose Window→Show View→Print Object. The UID is displayed in the upper-right corner as a 14-character unique value. Select and copy the UID to a text editor such as Notepad. Do the same for any other structures for which you need UIDs and use the values in your utility command.
