      <p class="para_topic">Similar to how you use TDM in I-deas, the normal way to run I-deas with Teamcenter is to start I-deas first, then start  Teamcenter from I-deas using the button that replaces the TDM <b class="uiTerm">Library Check-in</b> icon stack. This will launch both Teamcenter and the <b class="uiTerm">I-deas Model File View</b> window which is an interface between I-deas and Teamcenter.
