Copy an entire QY CAD structure


You can copy and save an entire QY CAD structure to a new item number, revision, and item name using the Save As All command. This is also known as cloning.

  1. In the Structure Editor upper-left window pane, select the top-level document that you want to clone.

  2. Choose File→Save As All, or click Save As All on the toolbar.

  3. In the upper-right window pane, the required data fields are marked by a red asterisk. Do one of the following:

    • Manually update the data—Click in each of the Item Number, Revision, and Item Name columns for the selected document, type a new entry, and then choose Assign from the shortcut menu.

    • Use the auto-assign feature—Right-click in the white space of the window pane, and then choose Assign All from the shortcut menu.

      Tip:

      When you use the auto-assign feature, all required fields–those displaying a red asterisk—are updated automatically.

  4. Choose File→Perform Actions, or click Perform Actions on the toolbar.

  5. (Optional) Save the action so it can be processed at a later time.
