Add a component by selecting a connection point

Procedure

1. In the resource you are modifying, select a connection point (plug or socket) and choose Edit→Guided Component Search or click . You can select one or multiple connection points of the same type (either only plugs or only sockets). If you select multiple connection points, these must:

Have the same shape.

Have the same connection type.

Belong to the same connection point definition.

Belong to the same component.

Teamcenter displays the Classification Search Dialog with a limited number of matching results.

2. Search for a suitable component in the Classification Search Dialog and add it to the existing hierarchy.

Results

Teamcenter adds this component to the assembly. The new component is added above or below the component with the selected connection point, depending on whether you initially selected a plug or a socket. The component containing the CSW (representing the socket connection point) is moved to the component with the MCS.

If you select multiple connection points, an occurrence of the new component is added to each of these connection points.
