Set variant rule check

Procedure Open the data pane by choosing View→Show/Hide Data Panel or clicking the Show/Hide Data Panel button on the toolbar. On the data pane, click the Variants tab. Select the line representing the owning item revision on which you want to store the variant data, for example, Car Model G. Select the Rule Check branch in the variant data tree. Teamcenter displays the Rule Check dialog box. In the Warning Text box of the dialog box, enter an error message, for example, Incompatible engine and gearbox. Define the relevant variant condition, for example, engine = 1200 AND gearbox = automatic. Click Create . Teamcenter creates the rule check. Expand the Rule Check branch and verify the new rule check is added below any that already existed, for example: Copy ERROR Incompatible engine and gearbox IF engine = 1200 AND gearbox = automatic If you need to change the rule check, select it in the Rule Check branch of the variant data tree. Teamcenter displays the Rule Check dialog box, allowing you to change any of the boxes. Click Modify to apply the changes. Click Save to save the changes. A Y appears in the Has Variant Data (HVD) column of the properties table, if variant data was not already created.
