Create a trace link using Copy and Paste

Note: This topic documents the native, generic Active Workspace trace-link mechanism (Active Workspace Fundamentals / Getting Started Guide book), which is the underlying capability that pillar-specific applications (Model-Based Systems Engineering, Requirements Management, Program Planning, Schedule Manager, etc.) build on and surface through their own commands and views. It is not tied to any one pillar.

One way to create trace links is by using Copy and Paste.

Procedure

1. Ensure that you have the objects that you want to link in the results pane.

2. Select one or more objects, and then click Copy to copy the selected objects to the clipboard.

   You can copy objects from one browser window and paste into another window.

3. Click More Commands > New > Create Trace Link.

4. Click Paste in either the Start or the End panel.

5. Select the Type, and then click Create.
