Create new options from existing options

When an option has values similar to those on an existing option, it may be quicker to create the new option values from those of the existing option:

Procedure If necessary, choose View→Show/Hide Data Panel or click the Show/Hide Data Panel button on the toolbar. Teamcenter opens the data pane. Click the Variants tab and select the option to copy in the Options branch of the variant data tree. Teamcenter displays the Option dialog box, prepopulated with the values and name of the original option. In the Option dialog box, type a new name for the option (duplicate names within an item are not allowed) and modify the values as required. Click Create to create the new option. Click Save to save the changes.
