Access Models and Files from the Library

In order for you to access files from the library and modify, these files need to be copied to the workspace.

A model from the library can be opened in MotionView by using two methods, which are explained below.

  • Right-click the .mdl file in the Organize browser, Library view, to perform a Check-Out or Get, if not done already.
  • Right-click the .mdl file and select Load model. You should have an active MotionView client window. The .mdl file opens in the MotionView client.
  • Click the Open Model icon.
  • Click Explore.
  • Select the .mdl file and click Open.
    Note: If the file is not in the workspace, the data manager does a Get automatically and the model is loaded in MotionView. The model title would be shown in a URL format hwedm:///library_name/filename, where library_name and filename refer to the name of the library and file name of the .mdl file, respectively.
