Copying And Pasting Systems; Adding A File To A System - AMX NetLinx Studio Instruction Manual

Working with Systems

Copying and Pasting Systems

NetLinx Studio allows you to easily copy and paste Systems (and all associated System Files) within a Workspace. This
allows you to develop a set of core Systems which you can then copy, paste and modify as necessary. In cases where
there are only minor variations from one System to the next, this can be a real timer-saver.
To copy and paste a System (within a Workspace).
1.
Open a Workspace (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar) and click to select (highlight) a System folder.
2.
Right-click on the System folder and select Copy Selected System from the System Folder context menu.
3.
Right-click on the Project that you want to paste the System into, and select Paste System from the Project Folder
context menu.
4.
The System is added to the selected Project.

Adding a File to a System

When a file is added to a System, the file is always added to the selected (highlighted) System (in the Workspace tab of
the Workspace Bar), and it is always automatically added to the appropriate System File folder based on file type.

Select (highlight) the System that you want to add the file to.
2.
Select Add File to System from the Project menu to open the Add Existing File dialog.
