Copy a configuration 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 a new copied item:

  • It is assigned a new item number based on the item numbering rules set by your Tenant Administrator.
  • It has 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.

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.
