Using the Application Tools
Copy
The Copy capability is available throughout the application and is always located in the List
View pane. Copy allows a selected item to be completely copied into the Detail View area
where you can then modify any of the information. This is helpful for creating new components
that closely resemble already-built components. If properly used, Copy will minimize typing
time and user errors.
Note: The Copy feature copies the information on the Info tab and all set location
information but does not copy connections.
To use the Copy function:
1. In the List View, choose the component you want to copy.
2. Click Copy. A **new record** row is added to the List View table and the data you copied
is displayed In the Detail View pane.
3. In the Detail View pane, make the necessary changes in the desired fields.
4. When finished, click Save. The component information you copied and modified will
populate the **new record** row.
Note: Before saving the new duplicated item, make sure that you change all fields that
must be unique from the copied original. NetDoc™ will display messages if you try to save
the copied data without making the necessary changes. You cannot add the new record
until the required changes are made.
