Creating and Editing Structures > About Creating and Editing Structures

You can insert viewables from other files into the Structure Tree and change the position of nodes and their children in the Structure Tree. You can create new structures, rename or delete nodes and save substructures as independent files. Although you can use Structure Edit only in Creo View, you can view the modified structures in Creo View Lite.

Some structure editing operations can break the internal references used with annotation sets of open views, causing the loss of unsaved work. These operations are grouped in the

Advanced Editing subcategory. Before performing these operations, you are prompted to save your changes.

After you insert new parts or assemblies into a structure, you can change the location and the orientation or both of the new objects using the

Assemble tool.

You can also save some location changes to Windchill. For more information, see the Windchill Online Help.
