Chapter 9
Using Copy and Paste
9–2
Note these additional considerations regarding the Copy/Paste features:
•
When you copy 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 current settings of the selected source
are copied. 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 current gage 1 settings
would be copied.
•
You can copy a tool, viewport, serial port, or string source to a destination
in a different toolset, but only if the resolutions of the respective cameras
assigned to the two toolsets are the same.
Copy / Paste Restrictions: You cannot use the Paste function (the Paste
box will remain disabled) if you try to copy –
•
A serial port source to a viewport destination, or a viewport source to a
serial port destination.
•
A serial port source to a serial port destination which has at least one
string entered, or a viewport source to a viewport destination which has at
least one string entered.
•
To or from any window which is set for OCR operation.
Example – Tool Copy and Paste
Window 1 in toolset 1 is set up, and we want to set up window 2 exactly the
same way, except for its position. In order to accomplish this:
•
Pick the Next or Previous box as necessary to select window 1.
Window menu
Window 1 selected
•
Pick the Copy box to select window 1 as the source. The Paste box will
display the number of the source window – in this case, the box reads
Paste 1/1, for toolset 1, window 1.
