2/28/2019 Siemens Documentation: Model view property attributes in Teamcenter
Model view property attributes in Teamcenter
When a part with model views designated for publishing is saved in a managed mode, Model View Proxy objects are created in Teamcenter for each designated model view in the
model. The Model View Proxy object references the designated model view and synchronizes the Disclosure Purpose attribute with the appropriate proxy object property.
If the name of the Disclosure Purpose attribute cannot be mapped to the appropriate property of the Model View Proxy object, the import of the part will fail.
If the name of the Disclosure Purpose attribute can be mapped, but a value has been specified which is not valid for the corresponding property on a Model View Proxy object, the
import of the part will fail.
Once the part and its JT data is successfully loaded into Teamcenter, you can use the Teamcenter lifecycle visualization tool to publish and manage the designated model views.
2/28/2019 Siemens Documentation: Preferences and customer defaults for disclosure attributes
Preferences and customer defaults for disclosure attributes
Options in the PMI Preferences dialog box and the Customer Default dialog box let you control the following:
The default setting for the Publish for Disclosure attribute for model views you add to the part.
The default setting for the Publish for Disclosure attribute for canned model views (customer default only).
The default text string for the Disclosure Purpose attribute, which is automatically applied to any model view with a Publish for Disclosure attribute set to True.
These default settings only apply to new model views and do not affect the attribute settings for existing model views.
Note When you use a Blank template to create a new part, the disclosure attributes for the canned views are set based on the customer defaults.
If you use any other template to create a new part, the canned views are not affected by the default setting because they are not created as new model views. If you want the
disclosure attributes set for canned views in a new part created from a template, you must set the disclosure attributes in the template.

2/28/2019 Siemens Documentation: Publishing model views
Publishing model views
After creating and arranging PMI in model views in your model or assembly, you may want to limit which views can be used during design reviews, planning processes, or other official
types of collaboration with customers or suppliers. In other words, you may want to limit which model views are published for use by others.
In NX there are two model view property attributes that let you indicate which model views may be used for collaboration, and for what purpose.
The Publish for Disclosure model view property attribute lets you designate which model view in your part or assembly can be published for use
The Disclosure Purpose model view property attribute lets you identify the purpose for disclosing the model view. For example, the purpose can be for a customer product review,
for an intern design review, or for a manufacturing process review.
You can individually set these attributes for each model view, or you can select one or more model views and collectively set their attributes using a bulk edit method.
Once these attributes are set, they can be referenced by other applications, such as Lifecycle Visualization, to manage which views are presented during a review process. See
Working with model views in the Lifecycle Visualization Help for more information.
Model view attribute columns in the Part Navigator

The Publish for Disclosure column and the Disclosure Purpose column in the Part Navigator let you determine the status of the property attributes for each model view. By default,
these columns are not visible in the Part Navigator. To see them you must manually add them.
