Select the destination – Pick the

box as necessary to

set the number to the destination – the component (tool, viewport, serial
port, or string) which which will receive the settings from the source.

•

Pick the

Paste

box. The settings are automatically copied from the

selected source to the currently selected component (destination).

Note these additional considerations regarding the

Copy/Paste

features:

•

When you paste the settings of the source into the destination, the
previous settings of the destination are overwritten.

•

The source selection remains as selected until a different source is
selected. This means that you can copy the source settings to a number of
different components of the same type.

•

When you pick the

Paste

box, the settings of the selected source that

were in effect at the time you selected

Copy

are pasted. For example,

suppose that you select gage 1 and pick the

Copy

box, then change some

of the settings of gage 1 before picking the

Paste

box. When you do

pick the

Paste

box, the gage 1 settings copied would be those in effect at

the time you selected

Copy

. The changes you made since the

Copy

will

not appear.
