Export HTML/Web - Link Document

 

Invoked ByFile go to Export go to HTML go to OK

 

Use the HTML Page Generation Form to create an HTML/Web document (.htm) from the active part that can be viewed with any web browser that has a VRML plug-in installed.  The HTML/Web document will contain attribute data extracted from the Part Attributes Form, bill of materials (BOM) data as shown by the Show Assembly Parts List command, and a VRML image file (.wrl) of the active part.

 

The .htm and .wrl files will be saved to and viewed from the Physical Path and URL Path defined in the form. These paths default to those set by the VX Configuration Form.  You can override the current configuration paths using this form. The attribute, BOM, VRML, and HTML data will be generated.  This may take several minutes.  Once complete, your default local web browser is opened and the HTML/Web document is displayed.
