Pack structure lines
To pack lines in the structure that meet the packing criteria, select any one of the lines and choose Pack in the View menu. Alternatively, you can click the Pack button in the toolbar.
In the case of the bicycle example, this action collapses the 50 lines in the product structure into one line representing all spokes and indicated by the image. A x 50 property is appended in the node of the single line and the Quantity box shows the value 50. Teamcenter shows a Y character in the Packed column, if that column is displayed.
Note
Teamcenter makes no distinction made between the sum of a number of separate occurrences or an aggregate occurrence displayed in the Node column or the Quantity column. However, the Pack Count column shows the number of lines that have been packed.
