Assign features to processes and operations

Do one of the following.

  • In the structure view:

    Open the product structure containing the features in one structure view and the process structure in another.

    Copy the feature and paste it to the process or operation that should consume it or use the drag-and-drop option.

  • In the Manufacturing Features view, drag a feature from the Manufacturing Features view to the appropriate process or operation in the structure view.

  • In the Manufacturing Features view:

    Right-click a feature and choose Copy.

    Paste the feature into the process or operation that should consume it.

Teamcenter adds a consumed feature underneath the process or operation.

When you assign an arc or datum to a process structure, Teamcenter creates an override form that contains the attributes you want to edit in the process structure. The override form is attached with the Mfg0TCContextFeatureFormRel relation and is added in the context of the operation or process to which the feature is assigned.

  • For arc welds, the override form additionally contains attributes that can be populated from Process Simulate on Teamcenter.

  • Do not change the type of datum in the datum override form. You can change the datum usage type.

  • You can add all attributes from the override form as run-time properties to the structure view.

  • After assigning a feature, editing attributes in the feature form does not change the override form, and vice versa.
