Replacing a component

You can make the following replacements in a product structure: Replace a component without losing the occurrence data. You can change an item revision in an assembly by cutting out the old item revision and pasting in the new item revision. However, this method breaks the occurrence link to the old component, so you lose any occurrence attributes including notes and the find number of the old component. A replacement retains the occurrence data. Change the revision of a component item in precise assemblies. Change the view type. If the component has multiple views and you want the parent assembly to reference a different view, you can edit to the parent assembly to change the view type. Replace all occurrences of a selected item revision. You cannot replace one component with two or more components. However, you can select multiple components and replace each with a single component.

Note Teamcenter does not verify if the replacement request is valid for your business data. If necessary, check the validity of the replacement action with the Teamcenter administrator.
