Export of PPR Content to 3D XML

PPR content such as PPR Context and resources can be exported to a 3D XML file. The export can be done either from the search results or an exploration tab.

This page discusses:

Exportable PPR Content

PPR Context or resource content can be exported either from the search results or from an exploration tab.

Exporting to 3D XML in with authoring format is available.

Exporting to 3D XML in for review format is not available.

Export of PPR Context

All content that is aggregated under a PPR Context is exported (products, manufactured items, systems, operations, resources, references, instances, representations, ports, and connections).

Implement links can be created to connect these PPR object types.

Note that some connections may refer to an object that is not aggregated under the current PPR Context. In that case, it is not exported.

For example, consider the case where the current PPR Context contains a manufactured item that has an associated resource. Only the manufactured item is exported: the resource is not exported. However, the manufactured item-resource link is exported.

See Export PPR Contexts.

Export of Resources

All content that is aggregated under a resource is exported (sub-resources, references, instances, representations, ports, and connections).

A resource is a special product that contains attributes and content that are specific to DELMIA. Note, however, that implement links are not exported.

Export and Read/Write Access

Objects that are locked due to read/write permissions will be exported. However, the lock will be lost at import.

In the case where a particular user does not have access to given content, that user will not see this content in the search results or in the navigation. As a consequence, this content cannot be exported.
