Saving and Retrieving a Context

When working with large Product Structure trees, it can be difficult to locate all of the models to load in order to re-create a particular working context. By creating a Group associated to a working context, you can later recuperate that context as easily as passing the mouse over the icon of the defined Group.
Have an ENOVIA VPM and a DMU Navigator session running.

  1. In DMU, create a Group containing all documents necessary for a given context, e.g.:

  • create a measurement between two documents
  • click the Group icon 
  • graphically select the two documents to create a Group

  1. In DMU, save the container in VPM (see Saving DMU Applicative Data in ENOVIAVPM). 

  2. In DMU, close the documents.

  3. In ENOVIAVPM, load one of the two documents.

  4. In ENOVIAVPM, load the container that you just saved containing the defined Group.

  1. In DMU, expand the container and double-click the defined Group to edit it.

The second document is automatically loaded as of the activation of the Edit Group command.
