Use the Edit menu commands to perform basic editing tasks on selected objects, view and/or change user settings and preferences, and to move selected objects around in the tree structure.
Note You must have read and write privileges to the objects you want to cut, copy,
or paste.
Command Purpose
Cut Removes a selected data object reference from the current location and places it on the clipboard. You must have read privileges on the object and write privileges on its container to move or remove an object.
Copy Replicates a data object reference in another application. You must have read privileges for the selected object that you want to copy. You can also create a copy by dragging the object to another Teamcenter application.
Command Purpose Copy
Workflow Process
Copies a selected workflow process to your Teamcenter clipboard.
Note Choose Copy or Copy Workflow Process to accomplish
your goal with a selected task. If you choose Copy, just that task is copied to the clipboard. If you choose Copy Workflow Process, the root process is copied to the clipboard.
Paste Moves a data object reference from the clipboard to the current location in the data object area. It is important to select the proper destination for the data object reference before choosing the Paste menu command. You must have read and write privileges to the destination object.
Note If your administrator has defined mandatory properties for the type of relation by which the pasted object reference (secondary object) is associated to the primary object, a dialog box lets you define attribute values for the objects.
Paste Special Allows you to specify a relation type rather than using the default paste relation when pasting an object reference into an item or item revision.
Note If your administrator has defined mandatory properties
for the type of relation by which the pasted object reference (secondary object) is associated to the primary object, a dialog box lets you define attribute values for the objects.
Properties For selected single editable objects, displays the Check-Out dialog box, and then displays the Edit Properties dialog box for the selected object.
For selected multiple editable objects, displays the Check-Out dialog box, and then displays the Common modifiable properties dialog box for the selected objects.
Delete Deletes a selected data object from the database. You must have delete permission for the object to use this command. You can also use the Explore Selected Components option (available in the Delete dialog box) to select related objects for deletion by either selecting them from the tree or applying type/relation rules.
Note You cannot delete from the database an object that is referenced in multiple locations. Therefore, to delete an object from the database, you may need to perform a where-referenced search to locate all references to the object, then contact all the owners of the references and ask them to delete their references to the object. When there are no remaining references, you can delete an object for which you have delete permission.
Command Purpose
For information about locating references to objects, see theRich Client Interface Guide.
Properties on Relation
Lets you edit and save properties on custom relations.
• When one secondary object is selected, this command displays the Properties dialog box showing the relation between the selected secondary object and the related primary object. • When multiple secondary objects are selected, this command
displays the Common modifiable properties dialog box. For more information about modifying custom properties, see
Relation properties.
