Generating Structure Design
Objects from xFrame Objects
You can generate Structure Design objects from xFrame objects.
From the Operation section of the action bar,
click xFrame PLM Exposition
.
In the xFrame PLM Exposition dialog box, select the
physical products containing the xFrame objects, in the Input object box.
In the Destination box, select a physical product under which the Structure Design objects will be generated.
Note:
The destination product and the product containing xFrame objects must be under the same root product.
The xFrame objects available under the selected input products are listed in the dialog box.
Select the check boxes of the required objects and click

.
Structure Design objects are created for the xFrame objects. The existing Structure Design objects are updated with the latest changes in the corresponding xFrame objects.
An engineering connection is created between the xFrame and the Structure Design objects.
The Physical Object and
To Do columns are updated as follows:
