Create a new item or item revisions

You can create an item revision and structure it as an assembly, by adding new components one item or part at one time. This technique is useful when doing top-down modeling. You must have write access to the BOM view revision to create the new item revision.

Procedure Select the parent assembly in the product structure tree. Choose File→New→Item or File→New→Part.

Note If 4th Generation Product Master is installed, then instead of Part, Legacy Part is displayed on the user interface. Teamcenter performs the same checks as described for the Add... command and displays the Create Item or Create Part dialog box. Enter the necessary parameters in the dialog box and click OK. Teamcenter creates the new item or part (or its revision) and adds it as a component of the selected assembly.

Note If you add parts or part assemblies to an assembly, you can subsequently publish links to the associated CAD designs. This step is not necessary if you add items or item revisions, as you can attach CAD designs directly.
