Insert a part from 3Dfind.it


  1. Choose Home tab→Assemble group→Insert ComponentInsert Components from 3Dfind.it.

  2. From the 3Dfind.it website, search for and select the part you want to insert into your assembly.

  3. Click Send to QY CAD.

    When you select a model from 3Dfind.it, the selected part is downloaded to the default location for the 3DFind.it models as defined in the QY CAD Options dialog box, on the File Locations page. If the value is undefined, you are prompted to browse for a folder.

Tip:
  • In the Teamcenter-managed environment, when you choose to insert a model from 3Dfind.it, the system first checks to see if the part is already in Teamcenter. If the part already exists in Teamcenter, the document from Teamcenter is used. If the part does not exist in Teamcenter, the part is downloaded from 3Dfind.it to the default location, and inserted into your open assembly. The part is saved to Teamcenter when you upload the assembly to Teamcenter.

  • To enable 3Dfind.it functionality in the Teamcenter-managed environment, set the Teamcenter preference SEEC_Enable_3DFindit value to 1.

    For a full description of the preference, see the Teamcenter Preferences section of the Teamcenter Integration for QY CAD (SEEC) Guide for Users and Administrators.
