Move a node to another branch
You can move a selected node from one branch to another. All substructure and occurrence data moves with the node.
Procedure
- Move a node using any of the following methods:
Cut and paste using the Edit→Cut and Edit→Paste menu commands.
Cut and paste using the Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V shortcut keys.
Caution Do not try to move a node by dragging the line to its new position. Teamcenter performs a copy action when you drag a line. Teamcenter displays the Paste dialog box.
- Do one or more of the following:
Change the item ID and revision ID.
Change the view type, if applicable.
Select if the line should be pasted as a component of the selected assembly line, as a substitute for the selected line, or as a new level above the selected line.
Specify the number of occurrences, quantity per occurrence, and find number.
- Click OK or Apply to complete moving the line.
Caution
If you cut a line and edit tracking is enabled, the line is displayed in red with a strike-through until you commit the edits. Do not attempt to edit or work with this line, or you may obtain unpredictable results. If you want to edit or work with a line that is marked as cut, revert changes to the line by choosing Edit→Revert Edit first.
Similarly, do not edit or work with a marked line in another structure editor such as Multi-Structure Manager. Always complete and save your work on the structure before you open it in another structure editor.
