Command	Description
New→Item	Creates a new item, functionality, or document.
New→BOM View Revision	Creates a new BOM view revision for the selected line.
New→Workflow Process	Creates a new change process for the selected structure.
New→Part	Creates a new part.
New→Design	Creates a new design, that is, a CAD representation of a part or assembly.
New→Snapshot	Creates a new snapshot of the selected structure.
New→Item Element	Creates a new item element (GDE) and associates it with the selected line.
New→Connection	Creates a new revisable connection (for example, connection or datum point) or non-revisable (Tc Link) connection. To associate the connection with the connected objects, select the connection and objects, and then choose Edit→Connect.
New→Manufacturing Feature	Creates a new manufacturing feature, for example, a weld point.
New→Interface Definition	Creates a new interface (for example, connection or network port) and associates it with the selected line.
New→Process Variable	Creates a new process variable.
New→Signal	Creates a new electrical signal.
New→Item From Template	Creates a new item or item revision from a predefined template.
New→Folder	Creates a graphical representation of an aggregation of objects.
New→Dataset	Creates a Teamcenter data object used to manage data files created by other software applications. Each dataset can manage multiple operating system files, and each dataset references a dataset tool object and a dataset business object.
New→Form	Creates a data object used to display product information (properties) in a predefined template. Forms can be used to create an electronic facsimile of a hard copy form.
New→URL	Creates a data object used to access a Web resource. The URL (uniform resource locator) is an address that is used as a link to access a Web resource within Teamcenter or in a separate browser.
New→Data Requirement Item	Allows you to create a data requirement item (DRI) if you are working with contract data.
New→Parameter Management→Parameter Definition	—
New→Parameter Management→Parameter Definition Group	—
New→Software Design Component	Allows you to use the Calibration and Configuration Data Management (CCDM) solution to create and manage embedded software calibration and configuration parameter data. CCDM is a separately licensed solution that must be installed to expose these commands.
Open (Ctrl+O)	Opens the selected structure.
Open in NX	Sends PLM XML data representing the geometry of the selected assembly to NX.
Open in Lifecycle Visualization	Loads DirectModel datasets for the selected lines and displays them in standalone Lifecycle Visualization.
Save (Ctrl+S)	Saves changes made in Structure Manager. For example, you must explicitly save any new BOM lines or variants. If there are unsaved changes, the title pane of the Structure Manager window and the tooltip for any open pane are shown in bold with an asterisk * appended to the name. When you save the changes, the bold highlight and the asterisk are removed.
Save As→Item (Revision)	Depending on the currently selected line, creates a new item or new item revision from the selected line.
Save As→BOMView (Revision)	If a view is currently selected, creates a new structure view of an item from the view in the selected line. If an item is currently selected, creates a new BOM view revision of the selected item.
Save Session	Saves the current Teamcenter session, including the top-level item revision, the effective revision rules, and the state of the viewer pane. Note: by default, this menu entry is hidden. To make it visible, you must set the enableSessionFile entry in your customer.properties file to true. If this file does not already exist, you must create it.
Open Session	Opens a previously saved Teamcenter session.
Revise	Revises the selected item.
Duplicate	Clones the selected structure or assembly. The selected line and everything below it will be copied into the new (cloned) structure. Datasets and attachments may be copied to the new (cloned) structure, depending on Business Modeler IDE deep copy rules. CAD-specific attachments and relationships may be copied depending on options you selected and the closure rules configured for the CAD integration. For example, part family members may be replicated in the new (cloned) structure. Note: this command is unavailable if you select an architecture object type or subtype, for example, architecture breakdown element (ABE). However, you can duplicate any custom object types that your administrator creates.
Close	Closes the currently displayed structure.
Print	Views, prints, or saves information about the currently selected structure.
Print...	Views, prints, or saves properties, textual information, graphics, or information associated with the selected item.
Exit	Ends your Structure Manager session.

Note: by default, the Open in NX and Open in Lifecycle Visualization commands and the corresponding buttons on the toolbar may be hidden. To show these commands and buttons, you must set the TC_show_open_in_NX_button and TC_show_open_in_vmu_button preferences, respectively, to ON.
