Teleporting components from one assembly to another

Teleporting components from one assembly to another

Teleporting components from one assembly to another

All,

I have previously used a bespoke bit of PTC software that was developed with CATERPILLAR to do hydraulic hose routings. The package (Fluid Lines) is based loosely on Pro/Pipe. One very nice bit of the package was a command called 'Teleport' which allowed me to move components from one assembly to another (all constraints in the new assembly were translated to 'Fix' regardless of the their pre-teleport condition.

All I am wondering, quite simply, is there a command in the standard ProE that is equivalent to this?

You can do this in Pro/E using the RESTRUCTURE command

Thank you Hora,

I had a feeling it was there, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what the function was

Restructure works for parts, but not subassemblies. You can't move a subassembly from one higher-level assembly to another. Bummer... Almost there!

Another nice function with the restructure command would be the ability to select MULTIPLE COMPONENTS AT ONE TIME.  LOL seems like an easy functionality to include with the commmand.  I don't know why PTC did not.
