Setting up the search for components in other structures

You can select one or more objects in the following areas of the user interface and search for them in a different structure.

• Lines in a view

• Consumed parts in a process

• An object in the Navigation pane (Favorites, History, Open Items)

• Objects in the Home folder

• Objects in the My Worklist folder

• Items attached to a Teamcenter mail

• Lines in the Summary view

• Objects in the Graphics view

Whether you need to expand a target structure before choosing the Find in Source Structure menu command depends on the settings of the following two preferences:

• MECopyIdInContextToAssignedLine

• MECopyIdInContextLowerLevels

Note

Whether you need to expand a structure before a found component can be highlighted within it depends on the value of the MEExpandToSelection preference. If this preference is set to false, you must manually expand the target structure to highlight lines found within that structure.
