Copy and paste an in-context assembly

You can copy an assembly with in-context edits and paste it elsewhere in the same MBOM. This command creates a new absolute occurrence of the assembly while retaining in-context edits and attachments.

Note

Cloning rules are defined by your administrator using the combined MEDuplicateAssemblyInContextTemplates and Item.Item.DuplicateAssemblyInContext preferences. Your rules may not match the rules in this example.

Procedure

1. If you are editing in context, hide in-context editing mode.

2. In the MBOM Product or Workarea view, right-click the line to be copied and choose Copy.

3. In the same MBOM, right-click the equivalent line to which you want to paste the assembly.

4. Choose Edit→In Context→Paste Assembly in Context.

Results

A new instance of the assembly is created with all in-context edits and attachments as specified in the cloning rules intact.
