Create related revision histories

You can compare the graphical histories of two revisions of the same assembly.

Procedure Select an assembly line in the structure tree and click the Graphical History button. Teamcenter displays the History dialog box. In the dialog box, click the Revisions tab. Teamcenter displays the Revision pane. On the Revision pane, choose two assemblies to compare. Click Revision List to show all the revisions associated with the parent assembly in a tree-format structure. Click Progression for a tree-format display of associated revisions. In the Revision List view, select one of the revisions to compare. From the Compare With list, select the second revision. This list includes all the revisions associated with the selected parent assembly. By default, Teamcenter populates the Compare With box with the problem revision if the revision you selected in step 3 is in a change process. If the parent assembly has multiple BOM view revisions associated with it, select a view from the View Type list. Optionally, click Change to open the associated change in Change Manager. Review the effectivity data table for any effectivity data defined for the selected revision. If no effectivity data is defined, the table is blank. If multiple effectivities are defined for the revision, Teamcenter displays all end item effectivity entries. Click the Graphical Compare tab to display the comparison pane. Teamcenter displays the revision selected in step 3 in the viewer. The names of both the selected revisions are listed in the comparison sliders pane, with the revision selected in step 4 to the right. By default, the comparison sliders line up under this revision. Check Show Common Parts to load all the parts common to the two assemblies in the viewer. View the history of adds, cancels, moves or reshapes by moving the appropriate slider. To see all changes simultaneously, move the All slider. To compare the histories of other revisions without returning to the Revisions tab and choosing another set of revisions to compare, click one of the following buttons: Click Previous to display the previous revision based on creation date. Click Next to display the next revision based on creation date. Click Latest Working to display the latest working revision, based on your site's definition. To view the comparison information in tree format, click the Structures tab at the bottom of the dialog box. The comparison controls are replaced by two structure tree diagrams, indicating the modifications (adds, cancels, moves, reshapes) to each revision by icons and color coding. Click the Icons/Colors Legend to view the meanings of the icons and colors. In this view, you can also set options for variant rules, view current revision rules and set the current rule and set effectivity information.
