Selection of NC Codes, Model Elements, or Objects 
Selecting an NC code, in the NC Selection plug-in, configures the NC Data Entry plug-in with the data fields specified for that NC code. There is no direct integration between VTR and the NC Selection plug-in. For more information about NC Selection, see Nonconformance (NC).
Selecting an element or object in the Model Viewer populates fields in the NC Data Entry plug-in, for example, Ref Des and Component fields, as configured for the NC code selected in the NC Selection plug-in. Alternatively, specifying a Ref Des or Component value in the NC Data Entry plug-in field highlights the corresponding element, if there is one, in the Model Viewer.
Features
When an ECAD element, or 3D model object, is selected in the Model Viewer, the GAC API is used to obtain the metadata for that element from the ECAD model. Based upon the System Setup parameter vtr.viewer.vendor.fields, the values from the specified metadata fields are used to populate the corresponding NC Data Entry plug-in fields as specified in the System Setup parameter vtr.viewer.me.fields. The metadata fields and the NC Data Entry plug-in fields are matched up based upon their positions in the System Setup parameter lists.
Select ECAD element
To select an element in the ECAD model in the Model Viewer, do one of the following:
Select element in viewport
To select an element in the viewport, use the left mouse button to click (or double-click) on the element. Double-clicking on the element will also center and zoom the display of the element in the viewport.
Select element in Elements List
To select an element in the Elements List, choose the Elements List icon on the left-hand toolbar; use the left mouse button to click (or double-click) on the element in the Elements List. Double-clicking on the element in the list will also center and zoom the display of the element in the viewport.
When an ECAD element is selected, it is highlighted in the viewport and in the Elements List.
Select 3D object
To select an object in the 3D model in the Model Viewer, do one of the following:
Select object in viewport
To select an object in the viewport, use the left mouse button to click (or double-click) on the object. Double-clicking on the object will also center and zoom the display of the object in the viewport.
Select object in 3D Objects List
To select an element in the 3D Objects List, choose the Scene List icon on the left-hand toolbar; use the left mouse button to click (or double-click) on the object in the 3D Objects List. Double-clicking on the object in the list will also center and zoom the display of the object in the viewport.
When a 3D object is selected, it is highlighted in the viewport and in the 3D Objects List.
Specify value in the NC Data Entry plug-in field
When a value is specified in the NC Data Entry plug-in field that corresponds to the RefDes metadata field, the corresponding ECAD element or 3D object, that has that RefDes value, is highlighted in the viewport and in the Elements List or 3D Objects List.
The figure below illustrates the primary flow of user and system actions when an ECAD element or a 3D object is selected.
