Associating an image without a CAD file
As of aPriori Release 2014 R1 SP1, you can associate an image file with a CAD-less (virtual) part or assembly. This image will appear where a CAD-related component typically displays a representation of the CAD model, such as the Component Viewer or Search dialog in the main aPriori GUI. To associate an image with a virtual component part in the Bulk Loader, use the folder icon to specify the full path to the image file under the Image File Path column in the File Info section of the Bulk Costing and Analysis UI:
For information about using images in the aPriori UI, see Specifying 2D Images for virtual components. Note that in the Bulk Costing & Analysis UI you can right-click and select Image File to specify the full path to the 2D image file. You can also specify this path in a Bulk Costing Excel user inputs file or BOM input file using the imageFilePath property.
