Copy/Monitor Parameters for Grids

Before selecting grids to copy for monitoring, specify the following parameter values on the Copy/Monitor Options dialog.

See Specify Options for Copy/Monitor and Copy Elements for Monitoring.

Note: You cannot use the Copy/Monitor tool to monitor and coordinate changes to multi-segment grids (that is, grids whose grid lines are composed of multiple segments).

Reuse grids with the same name

When you select this option, if the current model contains a grid line with the same name as a grid line in the linked model, a new grid line is not created. Instead, the existing grid line in the current model is moved to match the location of the grid line in the linked model, and monitoring is established between these grid lines.

Reuse matching grids

Select one of the following values:

Add suffix to grid name

Enter a suffix to add to the names of copied grids.

Add prefix to grid name

Enter a prefix to add to the names of copied grids.
