Manually linking new assembly items to design variants

Complete the same steps as those for linking new items to design variants. In PLM, a document is created for the assembly and for each of the parts in the assembly. The documents created for the parts of the assembly indicate that the parts are associated to that assembly.

If you click the Items tab in the document workspace, you see the linked parts for the document you selected.

If you open the assembly in an item workspace, you see the primary item for the assembly and sub-items for each configuration.

If you suppress a part in an assembly and save to PLM, the item of the suppressed part is no longer linked to the assembly item.
