3.4.11 Copying interconnection elements (across all devices)
This function will be available as of »Engineer« V2.9!
As of the »Engineer« V2.9, interconnection elements cannot only be copied within the same inter-
connection but also across all devices within the same project, as long as the devices stem from the
same product family (e.g. Servo Drives 9400).
All types of blocks and comments can be copied to the clipboard via the Copy command or the
+ shortcut and then be inserted into the FB interconnection of the same or another project
device of the same product family using the Insert command or the + shortcut.
• During the copy process into the clipboard, existing connections between copied blocks are co-
pied as well, and the layout is kept too. Moreover, the separate technical objects (port definition,
variable declaration, and user code declaration) are copied. Selected connections cannot be co-
pied on their own.
• The Insert command is available if the clipboard is not empty and if it was copied from a device
of the same product family. Within this product family, all device types (e.g. 9400 xxxxLine
Vxx.xx) are permitted.
• After the Insert command has been selected, a dialog box is displayed which serves to select
which elements are to be inserted from the clipboard and how to solve name conflicts, if any.
• After inserting the elements, they are marked in the target interconnection in order to be repo-
sitioned or deleted again to undo the insertion.
• Inserting from the clipboard can be repeated. The originally copied contents of the clipboard re-
mains unchanged when it is inserted.

How to copy one or several interconnection elements:

• If you click the header of further objects while pressing , these will be added to an
already existing selection (multi-selection).
• You can easily select elements that are placed together by drawing a frame around these
elements while keeping the mouse button pressed.
• All selected objects are highlighted by a light green header.
2. Go to the context menu and select the Copy command (or +).
• The selected elements are copied into the clipboard of the FB Editor.
3. If the elements are to be copied into a function block interconnection of another project de-
vice, change to the corresponding interconnection via the project view.
4. Go to the context menu and select the Insert command (or +).
5. Go to the Insert copied elements into the FB interconnection and select which elements from
the clipboard are to be inserted and how to solve name conflicts, if any.
