Files Contained within the SpaceClaim File

This figure shows the files contained within a sample Flashlight.scdoc file.

The document.xml.rels file contains pointers to all the files required to load the design into SpaceClaim. The figure below shows this content for the Flashlight example.

For example, you can use the information in this file to determine all the parts required for a BOM by looking at the assemblyComponent relationship. In this case, it points to another file called Standard Parts.scdoc. By opening this file and reviewing its components and subcomponents, you can generate a BOM report.

There are three types of external file pointers:

• assemblyComponent points to a file that contains subcomponents used in the assembly

• drawingFormat points to the file used to format the drawing sheet

• redlineComponent points to a 3D markup slide

There are also multiple internal file pointers to the geometry files, thumbnail, tessellated data, and window settings. The bodyGeometry Id provides the key to identifying the bodies described in the other XML and XAML files.
