Copy as Object vs Copy as Reference in Teamcenter

Copy as Object vs Copy as Reference in Teamcenter

Copy As Object = Create new revision/Version of dataset.

Copy as Reference = Copy same copy of dataset, no new revision or version is created.

Copy as Object:

Creates a new object of the same type and relation to the

parent object. Objects created by this method are totally

independent of the parent object. Therefore, any changes to

the copied object are not reflected in the original object.

Copied objects appear in bold in the Destination tree and can

be renamed.

Copy as Reference:

Copies the object as a reference to the original object. All changes to the reference copy affect the original object. The names of attachments that are copied as references cannot

be modified.
