When Solid Edge Structure Editor transacts data with Teamcenter, it uses a name that is unaffected by localization. This is referred to as the real name. The real name has also been used for the display of the object’s Item Type name in the user interface. (Example: Design) However, with the introduction of Teamcenter 8.3, the new BMIDE templates require a unique prefix for each name. The prefix is added to all new business objects to guarantee uniqueness. (Example: SE99_Design). The resulting name is often not desirable for display in the user interface.

Support for the use of the display name for the Item Type addresses this issue and brings consistency in what you see in Solid Edge Structure Editor when compared to Teamcenter Rich Client.

Some things to be aware of:

• The object's display name is used for presentation in the user interface only. Solid Edge continues to interact with Teamcenter using the real property name and real property value.

• There is no change to the process an administrator uses to define the property mapping between Teamcenter and Solid Edge.

• A new preference, SEEC_ItemTypeList_StructureEditor, is created to determine the list of Item Types displayed in Structure Editor.

  For more information on the new preference, see the Solid Edge Embedded Client Administrator’s Guide.
