PARTshell Check Out (2D)

 

Invoked ByApplications go to PARTsolutions (File/Object/Sketch/Sheet Level)

 

Use this command to open the PARTsolutions PARTviewer application and "check out" a layout view that was previously "checked in" using the PARTshell Check In command at the Drawing Sheet Level. This command is not used to insert 3D views of PARTsolutions components. Use the PARTviewer command at the Drawing Sheet Level to insert 3D views of PARTsolutions components.

 

When a layout view is "checked-out" of PARTsolutions and inserted into VX, it is first regenerated so that it is updated with the variable table record selected in PARTsolutions. Refer to the PARTsolutions documentation about using the PARTviewer application. A valid license of PARTsolutions is required to operate this command.

  1. Pick PARTshellCheckOut from the PARTsolutions Menu at the Drawing Sheet Level to load the PARTviewer application or pick Check Out Sheet from the PARTsolutions Menu at the file or object levels.

 

 

In PS

 

  1. Select the native layout view and load it into PARTviewer.

  2. Select the part you want to insert from the table.

PARTviewer will either collapse or exit depending which icon is selected in step 5.
