Opening Objects from a Search Results Window

You can open existing V6 objects from a Search Results window using the Open command.

Before you begin:
  • You cannot open non-V6 objects.
  • You cannot open an object created using V6 if its name contains national characters or forbidden special characters. For a reminder, see About Filenames.
  • Visualization filters are not taken into account.

  1. From a Search Results window, select the object you want to open.

  2. Click Open in the PLM Search toolbar.

    Tip: You can also run the Open command by taking one of the following steps:
    • Press Ctrl+O
    • Right-click the object then select Open
    • Select PLM Access > Open > Open.

A progress bar is displayed (if necessary, you can click Cancel to stop the process) and the selected object opens in a separate window:

Important:
  • When you first use this command, the default options applied are those defined in the Open tab.
  • You can select multiple part references from the Search Results window: in that case, each selected reference opens in a separate window with an editor corresponding to its type (i.e. drawing, material, etc.).
  • If you are working in editability mode, some commands might be unavailable to prevent unwanted modifications.
