The Copy (Instance) Map dialog is displayed when
you copy a map by dragging and dropping a map
button. It gives you the choice of copying the map,
making the newly assigned map an instance of the
one you dragged, or swapping maps.
You can drag map buttons in the Maps rollout, in
the Basic Parameters rollout, or from one rollout
to the other.
Tip: Usually when you use the same map for
multipleparameters,suchasbothself-illumination
and opacity, it is easier to work with an instance
rather than a copy.
