Managing Link Reconnection with Drag and Drop

You can manage the link reconnection. Broken links arise from operations like cutting, deleting, or replacing objects in a product structure.

  1. Open a product with elements having contextual links between each other.
  2. Select the instance you want to move.
  3. Drag the instance from the source component and drop it to the destination component.
    The links are automatically reconnected, but the relations are not synchronized.
  4. Optional: If the links cannot be automatically reconnected, the Edit Links & Relations dialog box appears to help reconnect these links.

    For more information, see Links and Relations.

  5. Drop the instance.
    The Edit Links & Relations dialog box appears.
  6. Click Synchronize Links .
    All the links are synchronized.
