When using Manufacturing Preparation in Ship Structure Manufacturing to create manufacturing components based on detail design components a Trace Link relationship is created in Teamcenter when the newly created manufacturing components are saved in NX.
(Manufacturing components are created when NX customer default “Create Separate Manufacturing Design Component” is enabled.)
- How can this Trace Link relationship be viewed in TC RAC?
