Edit the attributes of individual components

When you edit individual components, the component is modified in every assembly in which it occurs. Because any edits made to component attributes are propagated throughout every assembly in which the component appears, a security check is added to the application to make you reconsider your decision to modify a component before you actually make the change. This security check requires that you open the component in the BOM by itself so it displays as the root-level component.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the component to be edited in the assembly structure.

  2. Do one of the following:

    Choose Send to→Classification.

    In the Classification application, click Edit .

    Modify the values as necessary.

    Click Save .

    Return to the Resource Manager application.

    If necessary, refresh the component to see the changes.

    -or-

    Choose Send to→Resource Manager.

    Note 
     You must save the assembly before you do this.
    
    
    
    Teamcenter opens the component in a new Resource view where it becomes the root node.
    

    Click the Edit button on the toolbar.

    Edit the attribute values displayed in the Classification Properties view.

    Click Save .Teamcenter propagates the values of the modified component to all assemblies that use the component.

    Return to the assembly by displaying its Resource view.
