Creating Operations
The following procedure can be performed using either the Process Plan Explorer, or the Process Plan Browser.
To create multiple operations:
1. From the navigation pane, select the process plan or the operation that you want to create operations for.
* 
Selecting an operation creates sub-operations.
2. Click the Uses tab.
The Operations table appears.
3. Click the create icon.
* 
You can also insert an operation after the selected operation by clicking the Insert Operations After icon.
The Insert Operations window opens.
4. Enter the number of operations that you would like to create. The number of operations must be between 1 and 60.
* 
If multiple operation types are possible, select the type of operation to insert.
5. Select Checkout Object? to check out all operations.
6. Click OK.
The operations appear in the navigation pane.
* 
Default values for the new operations are taken from the parent operation, or from the most recently created operation.
* 
You can also click the create and insert operation icon in the Selected menu of the Process Plan Explorer, or by opening the context menu of the selected node in the navigation pane. You can also assign operations to an operation by copying an operation or process plan from any Windchill MPMLink explorer, or from another operation in the current process plan, and pasting it into the appropriate operation, using the Duplicate and Paste icon.
