Copying and Pasting Rules

Copy and paste rules are available in the Template Member Parameterization form. They allow existing rule definitions to be reused without reentering them on the Attribute Rule form. Pressing the Copy Rules button stores rules of the current element in the Rules Paste buffer.

Select the member to receive the copied rules and press the Paste Rules button. The system first checks each attribute of the current member to find an attribute rule for that attribute in the paste buffer. If a matching rule is found, the existing rule is overwritten by the rule stored in the paste buffer. If no matching attribute rule is found in the paste buffer then no change is made to that attribute.

The Copy Rules… button allows rules of a picked item to be pasted directly to the current element. When prompted, use the cursor to pick the item with the required rules.
