Transferring Design Data to X-PDM in Interactive Mode

This task explains, how to transfer design(Product) data from 3Dlive and CATIA V6 session to X-PDM.

Important:

  • The time required to transfer depends on various factors including the size of the data that is being mirrored, the hardware configuration and other factors.
  • Only single node selection is allowed to transfer data to X-PDM. When multiple selections are done and you try to send to X-PDM, you are notified with an error message to select single entity.
