Copy and paste an item or item revision

Procedure Select and copy the item or item revision (including parts, designs, and their revisions) from elsewhere in the product structure displayed in Structure Manager or from another application such as My Teamcenter. You can copy the item or item revision by clicking Copy , choosing Edit→Copy, or pressing the Ctrl+C keys. This action places the item or item revision on the clipboard. In Structure Manager, select the assembly into which you want to add the component. Paste the item or item revision by clicking Paste , choosing Edit→Paste or pressing the Ctrl+V keys. Pasting does not remove the object from the clipboard. Therefore, you can click Paste again to add another line of the same item revision to the assembly. Another Copy operation replaces the previous clipboard contents with the new object.

Caution After creating an architecture breakdown structure in Platform Designer and sending it to Structure Manager, do not copy and paste or drag and drop architecture elements in the same window. It can lead to data corruption in Platform Designer. If you inadvertently perform one of these actions, delete the resulting line using the Remove Design from Product button.
