Diagrams : Working with Diagrams : File Handling : Save As with Copy of Data : Copy Options

This option is only available when auto naming is enabled. This is done via This is done via Admin Tab > Configuration > Naming. Tick this option to apply auto naming rules to copied elements. If this option is not ticked, then copies of named items will get a ‘Copy-of-’ prefix while copies of unnamed items will remain unnamed.

Create secondary shapes for applicable types

Select this option to create secondary shapes for Equipment, Sub-equipment, Electrical connection items, Cables and Multi-cables. This means that these types of items will not be copied and the shapes in the new diagram will instead refer to the same database items as in the old diagram.

Copy database items and create primary shapes

Select this option to copy database items and create primary shapes for Equipment, Sub-equipment, electrical connection items, Cables and Multi-cables. If selected then a number of the following options become available (in addition, to make these options available, the appropriate situation must be relevant for the diagram that is being copied):

•

Copy owning equipment not on current diagram - in case of the diagram containing sub-equipment, where the owning equipment item is not represented on the current diagram, this option should be checked to also copy those owning equipment items.

•

Copy sub-equipment not on current diagram - if the diagram contains equipment that owns sub-equipment items that are not represented on the current diagram, this option should be checked to also copy those sub-equipment items.

•

Copy nozzles not on current diagram - in cases where the diagram contains equipment that owns nozzles that are not represented on the current diagram, this option should be checked to also copy those nozzles.

•

Copy electrical connections not on current diagram - if the diagram contains equipment that owns electrical connection items that are not represented on the current diagram, this option should be ticked to also copy those electrical connections.

•

Copy cores with cables - when the diagram contains cables that own cores, this option should be ticked to copy the cores as well.

There is an option to apply session default attributes to the copied data by checking/unchecking the Apply session default attributes to copied elements checkbox and attributes can be modified by using the Change Default Attribute button. The Defaults Attributes dialog is displayed and new attributes can be selected. The new setting will be saved when the Save As operation is finished.
