Publication & CAD Data Navigator 2012 June CATIA Forum On behalf of PLM WG / CAD Services Stephane Bally, CERN/PH-CMX 2012 June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN 1

Scope  The Publish command together with the Web based CAD Data Navigator provides a read-only access to published 3D models referenced in SmarTeam official projects.  It allows you to view, inspect (measuring/sectioning) and navigate in the structure of published 3D models using free of cost viewers.  Direct and permanent URL address to published document June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN2

Scope  The management (Publish/Revoke) of model publications is done in SmarTeam by its responsible (designer). CDN might improve/ease CAD information sharing but does not offer a SmarTeam export/import data integration process June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN3

SmarTeam Methodology Pre-requirements  Be responsible for the document.  A CATIA Part or CATIA Product document.  Document is Checked-In.  Document linked to a Official Project. Important !  To satisfy traceability requirements, the Publish action assures that the document (and all dependencies) cannot be overwritten (at least Preliminary).  Sub-parts/products of a Published assembly model are not automatically published, but are all available via the parent publications.  3DVIA file format created by default (3DPDF, STEP are optional) 2012 June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN4

SmarTeam Methodology Revoke Publication  A published document can be removed from the CAD Data Navigator using the command "Revoke Publication“ by its responsible.  The preliminary state will be kept for traceability purpose. More details on FAQ page at June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN5

CDN Methodology Pre-requirements  Have a valid EDMS account  Read-only data (download only)  3DVIA player (Windows)  Acrobat Reader 7 (non-Windows) Important !  Document metadata available for all Smarteam documents.  Your feed-backs/suggestions are welcome 2012 June CATIA Forum - Publication & CDN6
