Building and editing product structure > Changing components
Move a component to another assembly
Procedure
Select the component or group of components to move to another assembly
Click Cut on the toolbar, choose Edit→Cut, or press Ctrl+X to place the selected components on the clipboard. Teamcenter grays out the affected component lines.
Select the target assembly.
Click Paste on the toolbar, choose Edit→Paste, or press the Ctrl+P shortcut keys. New component lines appear under the selected assembly, and the grayed-out lines are removed from the structure.
Results
Note
Lines grayed out after a Cut command are not actually removed from the structure until you paste them elsewhere in the structure. If you place another object on the clipboard before pasting, the grayed-out lines are restored to their previous state and are removed from the clipboard.
