You use this process to display the documents converted by SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator. You can display the converted files from standard SAP GUI in SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer or in a side panel for SAP GUI in NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC). Furthermore, viewable files can be added as an additional original to a document and can be displayed on the PLM Web UI and SAP GUI.

Prerequisites

You have installed the following:

  • SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator

  • NWBC 3.5

Process

Display Converted Documents in DMS

You make the settings in Customizing for Define Workstation Application under Cross-Application Components -> Document Management ->General Data.

For a selected workstation application type, under Define the workstation application in network option, enter the application path and program name as follows:

  • %auto%: If you have specified SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer as the default display tool.

  • Enter the path to the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Generator where the .exe file is available.

Display Converted Documents in NWBC

Two Collaborative Human Interface Parts (CHIPs) are provided to view the converted documents in the side panel for SAP GUI in NWBC.

The thumbnail CHIPs enable you to view:

  • Converted file as a thumbnail

  • Converted file in the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer

You implement the Business Add-In (BAdI) BAdI: Get Files for Thumbnail and Viewer Display under Cross-Application Components -> Document Management -> Visual Enterprise Generator to obtain the types of files that can be displayed as thumbnail and viewer. If there is no implementation provided, the system takes the first file in the document as viewable file.

From the thumbnail view, you can choose to see the 3D file in the viewer in a separate application. The side panel of this application contains the Business Context Viewer (BCV) data that displays the visual analytics for the selected part based on the tagged business data.
