Copy variant conditions to other occurrences

You may want to add the same or similar variant condition to many occurrences, for example, the standard and electric aerials. You can do this by copying an existing variant condition and modifying it for another occurrence.

Procedure Right-click the structure line containing the existing variant condition. You can select any point on the line, not necessarily the variant condition cell. Teamcenter displays the structure line shortcut menu. In the shortcut menu, choose Copy or press the Ctrl+C shortcut keys. Teamcenter copies the contents of the occurrence to the clipboard. Move the cursor over the Variant Condition cell on the target line to which you want to copy the variant condition and right-click to display the structure line shortcut menu.

Note The Variant Condition property is used with the old variant model. This action is not available with the new variant model. In the shortcut menu, choose Paste Property. (There are no shortcut keys; you cannot use Ctrl+V.) Click Edit Variant Condition on the toolbar. Teamcenter displays the Variant Condition dialog box containing the variant condition for the standard aerial.

Note This action is not available Select aerial = standard and click Remove. Teamcenter removes the clause from the dialog box. Click AND, and then define the aerial = electric clause. Select the structure line for the electric aerial and click OK in the Variant Rule dialog box. Teamcenter adds the newly defined condition to the occurrence for the electric aerial.
