70 CHAPTER 2: WORKING WITH THE 3WXM USER INTERFACE
Copying and
Pasting Objects
3WXM allows you to duplicate objects, using the copy, paste, and paste
replace options.
 Use the copy and paste options to create a new object.
 Use the copy and paste replace options to replace an object with a
copy of another instance of the same type of object.
You can copy and paste objects selected in the Organizer panel or in the
Building wizard.
When pasting or replacing an object, the wizard for the new object is
automatically started so that you can edit object properties. To
successfully create the object, you must change its unique attributes (for
example, WX name). If the object is a parent of other objects, all the child
objects are also created or replaced (depending on the paste action).
After an object is copied into the buffer, the object can be pasted or
replaced as many times as required.
Copy and Paste To create a new object with the copy and paste options:
1 Select the object you want to copy in the Organizer panel.
2 Right-click on the object and select Copy, or select Edit > Copy from the
main toolbar.
3 Select the parent object where you want the copy to go.
4 Right-click on the parent object and select Paste, or select Edit > Paste
from the main toolbar.
The new copy of the object appears under the parent object.
For example, to create a new WX switch in a Mobility Domain:
1 Expand the view of a Mobility Domain in the Organizer panel to display
the WX switches in the Mobility Domain.
2 Select the switch you want to copy, then right-click on the switch and
select Copy.
3 Select the Mobility Domain where you want the copy to appear, then
right-click and select Paste.
