Publish virtual components

When you publish virtual components, a QY CAD document is created for each unique component, and the virtual component entry in PathFinder is replaced with the actual document.

1. Choose Home tab→Assemble group→Publish Virtual Components .

2. In the Name column, click the virtual component you want to make real.

   In the Teamcenter-managed environment, you can choose between a full publish and a partial publish by selecting the check box corresponding to the element(s) you want to publish.

   Note:

   When a virtual assembly is selected, all dependent virtual real components are selected as dependent references.

3. In the Target Location column, select the folder path.

   Note:

   The Target Location column is not used in the Teamcenter-managed environment.

4. In the Template column, right-click and select Set Template, and then choose the template you want to use for the selected component.

   Note:

   In a Teamcenter-managed environment, if a virtual component is denoted as an assembly, only QY CAD assembly templates are displayed during template selection. If the virtual component is a leaf node (one that has no references or children), then you can choose from all QY CAD templates during template selection.

5. Click Publish.

   Note:

   For QY CAD data management users who selected the option Automatically name files via Document Number and Revision, the system displays a dialog box where you can assign common properties, such as document number and revision number, as explained in Create documents with unique properties.

6. In a Teamcenter-managed environment, define any additional attributes, and click OK to upload the real item into the database.
