Show where originally assigned
Procedure
In the Graphics view, right-click the graphical representation of a part.
Choose Show Line Where Originally Assigned from the shortcut menu.Teamcenter searches for the line in the process structure where the selected part was originally consumed. If it does not find the part in the currently loaded structure, it, if desired, fully loads the process structure and repeats the search. If the selected part is additionally used in an IPA tree, Teamcenter finds only the original consumed part and selects it. If the selected part is used only in an IPA tree, Teamcenter does not expand the tree, but selects the root.
