Resequence or move operations

You can move operations during process planning for various reasons, such as to place them in a specific process or resequence the order in which they are performed in a process.

The Copy and Paste commands are available, respectively, from the BOM and BOP toolbars. In Easy Plan, the ability to drag files or objects to other objects works the same way as it does in other applications. For more details on resequencing and moving elements, see Rules for cloning, moving, and resequencing objects in the BOM or the BOP.

Note

When you resequence an operation, all part and resource references assigned to it move with that operation.

Procedure

1. If you have not done so already, search for and open an existing work package that contains processes and parts and navigate to the Process Planning or Work Instructions Authoring page.

2. In the Process tab or panel, select an operation and in the Process toolbar, click Show Menu → Cut , and do one of the following.

   Caution When you move operations, always use the cut and paste method. Do not use the copy and paste method. To move an object operation within its current process, select another operation in the process and click Show Menu → Paste → → Paste Before or Paste After. The operation is resequenced before or after the selected operation within the process. To move an operation to a different process, select the process into which you want to move the operation and click Show Menu → Paste → → Paste Into. The operation is moved into the selected process, as the last operation within that process. Note Paste Into is only listed as an option when you select a process into which to move an operation. To move an operation before or after a specific operation in a different process, select that operation in the process and click Show Menu → Paste → → Paste Before or Paste After. To move an operation to the same level as a subprocess (process beneath the root level of the process tree), select the process and click Show Menu → Paste → → Paste Before or Paste After. Teamcenter Easy Plan resequences the operation before or after the selected process.
