When the phantom part is inserted in the MBOM, the following events occur:

  • A new phantom part is created.
  • Selected parts are added under the new phantom part in the MBOM assembly.
  • This phantom part is added into the assembly’s MBOM.
  • If their MBOM connections are not yet released, the selected parts are removed from the assembly’s MBOM and added under the phantom part. Otherwise, the connections are effected out.
