Create a publish link

When you align a part occurrence and a design occurrence, you create a publish link between them, and Teamcenter copies information from the source occurrence to the target occurrence.

Procedure

1. Open the structures containing the part and design in two different structure panes.

2. Set any equivalent absolute occurrence context needed on each structure.

3. Select the design line and the part line, ensuring the source line is dimly highlighted and the target line is brightly highlighted. That is, when you create a publish link from a design occurrence to a part occurrence, the line representing the design is dimly highlighted and the line representing the part is brightly highlighted.

4. Choose Tools→Structure Alignment→Create Publish Link.Teamcenter create a publish link between the selected occurrences, indicating they are now aligned.If you select an inappropriate occurrence type, the system displays an error message that a publish action is not supported for one of the selected types.Note Configure alignable types by setting the PUBLISH_AlignableSourceTypes and PUBLISH_AlignableTargetTypes preferences.

5. To add another target part occurrence to this publish link, select the design occurrence and choose Tools→Structure Alignment→Add Targets to Publish Link.
