Replace a node

You can replace an item representing a node in the structure with another item. All data associated with the original node is preserved.

Note

Your system administrator sets the PS_replace_with_substructure preference to determine if any substructure below the node is replaced. If this preference is true, the node and its entire substructure (if any) are replaced without prompting. If it is false, Teamcenter displays an error message and does not complete the replacement action.

You cannot use the Replace feature on any type of process or consumed line in manufacturing structures.

1. Select the line to replace and choose Edit→Replace Node or click . Teamcenter displays the Replace Node dialog box.

2. Enter the item identifier and other attributes of the item that replaces the existing item.

3. Click OK or Apply. Teamcenter replaces the existing item. If you have edit highlighting turned on, the number of the original part is shown in red, strike-through text.
