To make Product Manufacturing Information, or PMI, and model views available for display in View and Markup or Solid Edge Viewer, the information must be published. You can publish the information with the Send PMI to View and Markup command, or you can use the Save As command to save the information to .jt format.
You can quickly publish information with the Send PMI To View and Markup command, which is available on the shortcut menu when a model view is selected in PathFinder. This sends all PMI data and model views defined in the active document to a .pcf file. The file is opened automatically in View and Markup. Any PMI data that is not associated with a model view is not displayed in the viewer.
To publish information with the Save As command, you must first set the Save PMI Data option on the Solid Edge to JT Translation Options dialog box, and then save the document to .jt format. All model views and PMI information associated with a model view are saved to the .jt document.
Once saved, you can open the .jt document in the viewer. A list of the model views and associated PMI information is displayed in the Model Views page on PathFinder.
Note:
When the Save PMI Data option is selected, other jt save options are disabled and the appropriate options are set to support PMI data. Precise geometry is always sent when the Save PMI Data option is selected even if the Include Precise Geometry option is not set.
Only graphic topology supported by the viewer is written to the.jt file. The following items are controlled by model views, but are not written to the .jt file.
Coordinate systems
Reference planes
Sketches and profiles
References axis
