Add a component by selecting a coordinate system

Procedure

1. In the resource you are modifying, select a coordinate system (MCS or CSW) and choose Add a Classified Component or click .

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

Teamcenter checks for matching coordinate systems. If you select an MCS and there are multiple CSWs in the component being added, Teamcenter requests that you select the correct coordinate system to align.

Results

Teamcenter adds this component to the assembly. The new component is added above or below the component with the selected coordinate system, depending on whether an MCS or CSW was initially selected. The component containing the CSW is moved to the component with the MCS.

Note

If you have a suitable component in the clipboard, you can also use Paste to add a component.
