Select structure lines

Use the Edit→Select Below menu command to make multiline selections in a structure. There are two types of multiline selections: Lowest Lines Use this option for: Initial setup of one view from an existing view, for example, setting up a manufacturing view from the design view. This allows you to reference the same components but with different intermediate levels of structure. Selective opening of assembly data in NX by passing only the required component references. If you open a configured variant assembly in NX, you open all of its components whether Teamcenter configures them or not. A Lowest Lines selection allows you to configure the variants and hide unconfigured occurrences. You can then select the occurrences that remain configured and open them in NX.

Note The term lowest level corresponds with its usage in the Compare feature. As in structure comparison, your selection of All Lines or Lowest Level applies to the currently configured structure and expanded in the product structure window. All Lines Allows you to take a snapshot of the structure by copying references to each revision in that structure to an override folder. You can attach this folder to and release it with the top level assembly. You can use this folder as an override list to reload the exact configuration of all component revisions in the product when it was released.

Note You can automate this functionality using the snapshots feature.
