To open a new window for the data creation screen that is active, follow the pro-
cedure described below.
2. When the same screen is displayed in two windows, elements can be copied
between the windows by dragging them while pressing the Ctrl key. Usually,
copying an element to a desired position in the same screen is not possible.
However, if two same windows are opened, it is possible to copy an element
to a desired position although they are on the same screen.
(Similarly, if different screen data files of the same PT model are opened by
two Support Tools, it is possible to copy screen data between the files.)
