Using

Copy

and

Paste

can save you time and effort in building your

configuration, especially when you intend to use a number of the same type
of components which will have similar settings.

To use the

Copy

and

Paste

features, follow this general procedure:

•

Select the source – Access the appropriate menu, and pick the

box as necessary to set the number to the desired source

component (tool, viewport, serial port, or string) you wish to copy.

•

Pick the

Copy

box. This marks the current selection as the source. The

Paste

box will designate the letter and/or number(s) of the source.
