Cloning a Resource or Program Variable

Cloning a Variable creates an exact duplicate of that Variable
and highlights the symbolic name of the copied Variable. This
makes the creation of similar Variables easier.

or

Program Variables

dialog

box.

2.

Click [Clone]. The

Add Resource/Program Vari-

able

dialog box is opened with the cloned Variable.

3.

Edit the Variable name. Give the Variable a unique
name.

4.

Edit any other parameters that you wish to be different
than the model for the cloned Variable.

5.

Click

[OK]

to add the Variable.

– or –
Click

[Cancel]

to return to the

Resource/Program

Variables

dialog box without adding the cloned Vari-

able.
