Specify fixed option defaults

To set the fixed option defaults, for example, aerial = standard and fog lights = no on item A0200, Body Assy:

Procedure Open the data pane by choosing View→Show/Hide Data Panel or clicking the Show/Hide Data Panel button on the toolbar. In the data pane, click the Variant Data tab. Select the line representing the owning item revision that stores the variant data, for example, Body Assy. Select the Option Defaults branch in the variant data tree. Teamcenter displays the Option Defaults dialog box. In the dialog box, enter the name of the option in the Option box and select a value from the list of possible values. For example, enter aerial in the Option box and choose aerial from the list of values.

Note The list of values contains only options that are loaded in Structure Manager. You can type in the name of an option name that is not loaded. If the option name is not unique, Teamcenter displays an error when you try to enter a value. You must specify an owning item. Enter a value in the Value box, for example, standard. You do not specify a condition for a fixed option default, so the lower part of the dialog box is not used. Click Create to create the option default. Click List of Values and click standard. Expand the Option Default branch and verify the new option default is added below any that already existed, for example: Copy DEFAULT aerial TO standard Repeat steps 4 through 8 to define any other fixed defaults, for example, fog lights = no. Click Save to save the changes. A Y appears in the Has Variant Data (HVD) column of the properties table for the owning item revision (for example, Body Assy, if variant data was not already created.
