This tool lets you do mass copies of location, installation, group, or mount
codes to all of the components you select. You either type in the desired code,
pick from an on-line list, or pick a similar master component.
Access:
On the Panel Layout toolbar, click the Miscellaneous Panel Tools tool to access
the Panel Location Copy tool. Select the Copy Installation Code, Copy Location
Code, Copy Mount Code, or Copy Group Code tool.
From the Panel Layout menu, select Miscellaneous Panel Tools ➤ Copy Install-
ation Code, Copy Location Code, Copy Mount Code, or Copy Group Code.
Retrieves existing values by selecting a panel component from the
drawing carrying the desired Installation or Location value you wish
to copy.
