Exporting a Measure to an Existing Product or Representation

You can export a measure into an existing product or 3D representation and then save it in the database.

This task shows you how to:

Export a Measure to an Existing Product

You can export a measure to an existing product.

  1. Right-click the measure in the 3D area or the tree and select MeasureObject.x > Export Measure To (The object word is replaced by the type of selected geometry such as plane, arc, and edge.)
  2. Select the product in the tree.

    • The requested new representation is created and is listed in the tree under the product you have selected.
    • A message is displayed in the upper-right corner confirming the export.

Export a Measure to an Existing Representation

You can export a measure to an existing representation.

  1. Right-click the measure in the 3D area or the tree and select MeasureObject.x > Export Measure To (The object word is replaced by the type of selected geometry such as plane, arc, and edge.)
  2. Select the representation in the tree or the geometry.

    The measure is created inside the representation as a geometrical set.

    If a selection is made in the geometry in design mode, a geometrical set is created within the representation containing the geometry you have selected.

    Note: The created geometry is not associative

Important:
  • Hidden measures can be exported.
  • You can multi-select measures before performing the Export Measure To operation.
  • If you make geometry changes and then export a measure, the exported measure is not updated.
  • You cannot export to a representation in visualization (authoring) mode.
  • For a measure export to a representation to be successful, the representation must be editable. For more information, see 3DEXPERIENCE Native Apps: Managing Editability.
  • You cannot use the Undo or Redo commands to cancel or repeat the creation of a representation.
  • You can set a prefix to be added to all new PLM objects in the Identification String box available under Me > Preferences > App Preferences > Social and Collaborative > Global Design Management > Collaborative Lifecycle > Identification tab.
