Cloning items within a project allows you to "duplicate" multiple items simultaneously. You can quickly clone all or some of the items in a location or system to another location or system.
To clone Items, select the items you wish to clone and then click the Clone button on the ribbon of the Home tab in the Project Editor.
The Clone Items form will open.
Here you can enter the additional quantity of the items you want to add to the project if you are cloning all the items the same number of times.
Checking the Select quantity for each location option opens up another option for quantity, allowing you to choose a specific quantity for each location.
The following are the options in the Clone Items form.
Option | Description |
Keep cloned items in the same location | This option will assign the cloned items to the same location that the item being cloned is assigned.
If you uncheck this, you can clone to multiple locations simultaneously.
Default = Checked.
|
Keep cloned items in the same system | This option will assign the cloned Items to the same system to which the item being cloned is assigned.
If you uncheck this, all items will be assigned to the new system that you selected.
Default = Checked. |
Clone as parent items (if parent items are not part of the selection) | If you select an accessory, an alternate, or an item within a package, the item will be cloned as a parent item, i.e., a "stand-alone" item. |
Clone within existing package or parent item | If you select an accessory, an alternate, or an item within a package, the item will be cloned and remain associated with the existing package or parent item. |
Clone complete package or parent item | If you select an accessory, an alternate, or an item within a package, this option will clone the entire package or parent item with all other accessories or alternates. |
