Using Integrated Viewer and Office Integration

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to use the integrated Visual Enterprise Viewer and Office Integration.

SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer

Product visualization is an integral component in modern business software solutions. SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer provides visualization as a permanently available and fully integrated solution component. The viewing functionality is always available to enable the visualization of parts and assemblies when working on tasks within a business process.

A 3D CAD model of a mechanical component is displayed in a software interface. The interface includes various tools and options for displaying 2D/3D originals, rotating, zooming, redlining, dimensioning, comparing, and sectioning the model.

With SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer, you can extend correct and uniform product data across the complete enterprise by publishing 2D images and 3D scenes on all industry-standard desktop applications. You can improve the quality of internal and external communication as well as collaboration processes.

Note

An integrated view is only available inside the SAP GUI navigation. Working with SAP Fiori Launchpad, the SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer is displayed as a separate application. Don’t forget the definition of the right MIME types.

For a comprehensive viewing experience, SAP 3D Visual Enterprise Viewer provides an extensive range of functions. These functions include, but are not limited to the following:

  • Pull-apart and reassembly functions integrated directly in 3D scenes

  • Angle and distance measurements, including measurements between vertices, edges, and faces, as well as the determination of arc centers

  • Display of cross-sectional views

  • Alteration of render modes

  • Zooming, panning, flying through, rotating, and walking through scenes

  • Display of parts lists associated with 3D scenes

  • Playback of steps, procedures, and 3D animations

  • Loading and rendering CGM files

Office Integration

If you edit MS Office files, you can do this outside of the document. It's a normal file edit process.

As an alternative you can use MS Office Integration to perform this inside a document info record. However, this can only happen in the SAP GUI.

Note

Here, integrated display or change of files is only available with SAP GUI navigation. Working with SAP Fiori Launchpad, MS office applications are opened as standalone applications.

Work with file visualization

Introduction

Up to now, you have only dealt with the display and change of a bitmap file. There are other options in the document for displaying or changing files. Since most options exist in the SAP GUI application, this task is performed in the SAP GUI.

Watch the following video, which displays a file display in the SAP GUI.
