Copy an item

Copy enables you to take existing designs and items and reuse them in new projects without affecting the original project.

There are several things to note about the new item:

It is assigned a new item number.
It is assigned a status of Development.
All CAD files, drawings, and supporting documentation are renamed according to the file naming rules configured by your Tenant Administrator and copied into the new item.
Item attributes are copied to the new item.
Custom properties are copied into the new item's CAD file.
The revision note is not copied.

Note: If you copy a purchased part, the new item does not inherit the original item's manufacturer item number, but the manufacturer is maintained.

Note: When an item is copied, its drawing is redownloaded to the home folder before being copied to the new item. This means that any local changes to the drawing are lost.

Copy has two options:

Clone copies the item and places it in a location of your choosing.
Replace copies the item and replaces it in its current cBOM context.
