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.
