Creating an Image

You can create images in the context of a product line, model, model version, or feature. By default, only Product Managers, Marketing Managers, and System Engineers can create images. The Image Create wizard allows you to check in a single file to depict the related object. Once created, images cannot be edited using Product Line Management, though they can be removed or deleted.

Only GIF, JPG, PNG, GIFF, and JPEG files can be checked in. During the final check-in of an image, the appconverts it to JPG only. After successful check-in of image files, various formats of these image files can be generated including generic, mxImage, mxLarge Image, mxMedium Image, mxSmall Image, mxThumbnail Image. These file formats are used to display the images in various formats, for example: large, medium, small, thumbnail, and so on.

Your Business Administrator can use properties to specify the format in which the image should be displayed. For details, see 3DEXPERIENCE Basics: Setting Image Properties.
