Summary


Details

We send 3D data from Teamcenter and load it into standalone TcVis. We ten add some 3D Markups and when we RMB on a layer and choose "Save As Layers" in 13.1 we had a way to save to the desktop but in 13.3 a dialog that says "New Markup Dataset" appears and we have no way to save it to the desktop.

Solution

By design when you send 3D data to TcVis, add markups and then use the following:

Save All Layers

Save Selected Layers

Save Selected Layers As

You are supposed to create a Markup Dataset:


In 13.1 if the customer had the option to browse to the desktop then they were benefitting from an older bug. In our testing we see that when you send 'normal' BOM data to standalone TcVis these options work in this manner. However, when working with 4GD data we see that the option Save Selected Layers As does allow you to browse to the desktop:


That is not working correctly so I can't recommend to use that option and it is being fixed internally. Instead, we did discover that if you use the option called Export Layer you can browse to the desktop and that is working by design:
