Various Add ....
commands:

Clicking on an Add... command will display a window for adding equipment to the Electrical Wiring Manager database. The item to be added is created at the equipment node (or Area node if an Area node is selected etc.) selected when the pop-up menu was opened (the node that was right-clicked on). Refer to Refer to Add Area, Buildings, Equipment Rooms and Vendor Packages, Add Equipment, Add Field Devices and Terminal Strips, Earth Bars, Din Rails, Devices, I/O Modules and Group Labels.

Cut

Allows the current selected equipment node to be moved. Select the node to move, then 'Cut', then select a new parent node then 'Paste'. Only applicable to devices and "internal components", e.g. DIN Rails, terminal strips, earth bars, devices etc. (but not compartments and their components).

Paste

Used to complete a copy or cut.

Note:
Electrical Wiring Manager will only allow copying/moving to a valid parent node based on equipment type. For example a PLC Cabinet cannot be pasted (copied or moved) to a Terminal Strip or a DIN Rail copied to an Plant Area or a PLC Cabinet to a PLC Cabinet etc.

Copy

Used to copy the currently selected equipment node. Select the node to copy, right-click then select Copy, then select the new parent node, then right-click and select Paste from the menu. Only applicable to devices and "internal components", e.g. DIN Rails, terminal strips, earth bars, devices etc. (but not compartments and their components).

Copy (with 'From' cables)

Only applicable to PLCs and Local Control Stations. This menu option only appears if the node selected has 'From' cables (i.e. cables in the cable schedule leading from this equipment). Select the node to copy, right-click then select Copy (with 'From' cables), then select the new parent node (e.g. a Plant Area, Building or Room) then right-click and select the Paste command.

This command is the same as above Copy command but also copies any cables and terminates the new cables exactly as the cables are terminated in the original 'source' equipment selected. The Copy Equipment with Cables window is displayed, used to assign new Cable Numbers to the copied cables. See Copy Equipment.
