Building and editing product structure > Using item elements
Replace item elements
Procedure Select one or more item elements (source lines) from the structure and choose Edit→Replace. Select one or more (item elements) target lines in the structure and choose Edit→Paste. If you copied more than one source line to the clipboard, but only selected a single target line, Teamcenter displays the Select Object for Replace dialog box. Otherwise, it replaces the target item elements with the source item elements and updates the instance numbers, as appropriate. If you attempt to replace a target item element with a source item element of another type, Teamcenter replaces only those lines where the source is a subtype of the target type. Otherwise, it displays an error message and does not replaces any lines. If Teamcenter displays the Select Object for Replace dialog box, select the required source item element from those listed and click Replace.
