About a Picture Marker in a View

Used for Picture Setup and the links.

Use the Document Management in Customizing preferences, Customizing Preferences to select:

• Keep a Link
  • Picture points to the document/file in the database.
  • If the original document modifies in the database, the Picture automatically updates the next time PPR data reloads.
• Embed
  • Picture contains a copy of the original document/file.
  • If the original document modifies in the database, there is no impact to the Picture (it shows the original image.)

Select Keep a Link, then a view. From the Instruction Authoring action bar, Picture .

Using the search, select the picture. The picture appears in your scenario, place accordingly.

Change to Embed, and select Picture from the Instruction Authoring action bar and select the picture again.

Once the picture modifies, then the Keep a Link updates, and Embed stays the same.

You can create a picture marker by dragging and dropping an image from your local computer. You can also create picture documents by dragging and dropping picture documents from the 3DSearch, bookmarks, or library browser. You can drop documents stored in the 3DEXPERIENCE Platform. The images dropped from the local file system create a picture marker. The images embed inside the picture marker.

To create a picture marker, do either of the following:

• Drag the image files from your local computer, and drop them in the 3D area. Note: The image always stores in the marker feature irrespective of the document management preference.
• Drag the picture documents from 3DSearch, bookmarks, or library browser and drop them in the3D area.
• If you drop the images on an object in the 3D area, the marker is linked to the object.
• The marker creates with their leaders pointing the drop location.
• One picture marker creates for every picture file.

1. From the Review section of the action bar, click Picture . The3DSearch panel lists all the documents containing the .tiff, .tif, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .png, and .svg files, available on the3DEXPERIENCE Platform.
2. Search your image document and select it for the marker creation. You can also select the document from the Bookmark app.
3. In the 3D area, specify the position of the marker using any of the following methods:
   • Select an object. The marker is linked to the object.
   • You can select multiple objects before clicking the command to link the marker to all the preselected objects. The marker creates with multiple leaders.
   • Click in the 3D area.
   • Click and drag to specify the leader start point and the marker upper-left corner.
