Copying Assemblies
Use the Copy Component tool to create a copy of a source assembly or its
components.
You can either create a new assembly file and open it in a new window, or
add copied components to an existing assembly file. Each copied component

The resulting copied components are not associative, and are not updated if
the original components are modified.
