Add standard text

You can insert the content of standard text to your textual work instructions document to compose a procedure.

Procedure

1. Select a standard text element in the library structure or the Search view.

2. Place your cursor at the location in the textual work instructions document at which to add the standard text and click Add standard text document .

The standard text content is added to the textual work instructions document. The text is embedded in a text control, named after the source standard text element and is not editable. If the source standard text element contained symbols, these are added to the symbol section of the textual work instructions document. A specific symbol only appears once even if it is associated with more than a single source standard text element. It is also possible to add data collection definitions and planner input fields to the textual work instructions document; for instructions about how to edit these, see View and edit properties. Note

You cannot copy standard text. If you attempt to do this, Teamcenter returns an error message and clears the undo stack.

Standard text elements are not visible in the process structure.

Ensure that the configuration rule applied to the library structure is the same as that applied to the process structure. This ensures that you add the same content to the textual work instructions document as that which you viewed in library.

If adding the standard text document causes the addition of a symbol to the textual work instructions document, Teamcenter clears the undo stack.
