Copy an Equipment Type to a User-created Project

Equipment Types that belong to a system project (such as template or library project) are read-only and cannot be modified. However, you can copy an equipment type to a non-system project and then modify it.

To copy an equipment type to a user-created project:

1. Open Equipment Editor and select the Equipment Types tab.

2. In the Types list, locate the system project that contains the equipment type you would like to copy.

3. Within the project branch, right-click on the required equipment type and select Copy to project from the menu that appears.

   

4. The Add Equipment Type dialog will open.

   

5. If required, enter a new Name for the equipment type.

   If a new name is not specified, "_n" will be automatically appended to the existing name (where "n" is the next integer required to create a unique name).

6. Select the destination Project from the list of available user-created projects.

7. Click OK.

The copied equipment type will appear in the Types list within the destination project.
