Relate substitutes with existing substitutes

Procedure

  1. Click the Preview button before you create the relation to verify if previous relations exist and their effect on the relation you propose to create.For example, the 000005 Substitute A for Lower Bearing line in the BVR is already related to the 000014 – Substitute A for Fuel Pipe line. If you try to relate the 000005 Substitute A for Lower Bearing line to another line, 000006 Substitute A for Upper Bearing, and click the Preview button, Teamcenter displays the following new relation:Copy000002/A-view:000003:10 ->000005 – Substitute A for Lower Bearing 000002/A-view:000003:20 ->000006 – Substitute A for Upper Bearing 000012/A-view:000013:150 ->000014 – Substitute A for Fuel Pipe

  2. Click the Create button to commit the relation. In the previous example, Teamcenter relates substitute A for the lower bearing, substitute A for the upper bearing and substitute A for the fuel pipe.
