Working with variant conditions

After you define the options, you must create variant conditions on the variant components. Examples refer to the dashboard assembly use case. The following procedures assume you are using the new variant model. If you use the old variant model, use the Variant Conditions property instead of the Variant Formula property. When you implement the new variant model, Teamcenter evaluates variant conditions using the new data model, even if they use the old Variant object model. The Variant Rule and variant condition editor dialog boxes continue to show available Variant objects. However, when you save an expression in the editor, it is converted to the new data model. You create variant conditions in the scope of a specific option. If you move the structure line out of the scope of the option referenced in the variant condition, the variant condition is not retained.
