PARTshell Check In (3D)
Applications 
PARTsolutions (Part
Level)
Use this command to "check in" a native VX part into PARTsolutions. It is highly recommended that you build your VX part with this in mind. Once the part is checked in, you can create new records in the variable table within PARTviewer for deriving a family of parts based on your original VX component.
Refer to the PARTsolutions documentation about using the PARTviewer application. A valid license of PARTsolutions is required to operate this command.
You must build your VX part
using variables created with the Create/Edit Local
Variable command. These are the only variables recognized by PARTsolutions.
Create all of your variables
first and then use them to define your VX part features that you want
to be parametrically driven within PARTsolutions.
When the VX part in checked
into PARTsolutions, all variables of this type are exported.
The names of the variables that
you define in VX will be displayed in PARTsolutions for that component.
The preview of the VX component
created for PARTsolutions will be based on the current display
of the component when this command is executed. Make sure that you position
and zoom the component as desired before executing this command.
Once this command is executed and the VX component is checked into PARTsolutions, the active VX file is cleared from the active session.
At the Part Level, position and zoom the VX component as desired (see above).
Pick Applications>PARTsolutions>PARTshell Check In
The component is exported to PARTsolutions and the active session is cleared of the file containing the component. A file browser is displayed for locating the component within PARTsolutions.
Select the folder within PARTsolutions where the component will be located. By default, a folder called "Native Parts" is created and opened.
The PARTviewer application is loaded and the VX component that you checked in is displayed.
Use PARTviewer functionality to create new records in the variable table within PARTsolutions for deriving a family of parts based on your original VX component.
Exit PARTviewer when desired.
