Copying Symbols

When copying symbols an exact copy of the original symbol is created and it is possible to transfer symbols from one symbol library to another.

Precondition:

Select the following commands: Tab Master data > Command group Symbols > Drop-down button Symbol > Copy.
In the Symbol selection dialog, select the symbol(s) you would like to copy. Multiple selection is possible.
Click [OK].
Select the symbol library to which you would like to copy the symbols under Target in the Copy symbols dialog: Open the drop-down list in the Symbol library field.
In the Number field overwrite the default or open the drop-down list of unallocated numbers.
In the Name field enter the symbol name by overwriting the default (<Original name (copy)> for copies in symbol libraries where this name already exists or <Original name> if no symbol exists with this name).
In the Description field enter a descriptive text for the symbol.
Select the check box in the With variants field if the symbol should be copied together with its existing variants . If the check box is deselected, then only the first existing variant will be copied.
Click [OK].
