Searching a structure for items on the clipboard

You can search a currently active BOM structure for any item that you previously placed on the clipboard. To do this, choose Tools→Find Clipboard Items to search the structure for all instances of an item on the clipboard. Teamcenter selects and highlights the corresponding line in the structure if it finds a match.

If the item on the clipboard has no BOM information, the search is unsuccessful. For example, if you copy an item to the clipboard with the Copy Line Item menu command, no BOM information is copied and this search does not find a match. If you copy the item with the Copy menu command, the associated BOM information is also copied and the search finds a match.

You can search for occurrence groups in this way, in addition to individual items.
