Element Copy

Elements may be copied. There are options to copy a single element or an element and all its descendants. Elements may be copied between DBs. Any cross references entirely within the copied structure will be updated to point to the newly created elements.

Elements are always copied on top of an existing element of the same type.

There are various options on the copy command to allow:

• The copied elements to be renamed according to a given criteria.

• Whether any attribute rules are to be rerun on the copied element. (Rules are described in Reconfigurer.)

Additional potential errors at create are:

• The element may not be copied to an element of a different type.
