To override the defaults, press the Shift key before initiating the drag. On dropping the
node on the target a Paste Special dialog will appear. You can specify the number of copies
to make. You can specify whether I/O correlations and Display Correlations are copied.
Copy Display Items
Display items can be copied from a list that is currently displayed in the right hand pane, to
the same list or another compatible node. Select the rows you wish to copy by highlighting
them. Right click the mouse or click on the Copy icon in the tool bar.
You can paste them to the same node, or you can navigate to another display node. In
order to paste the copied items, there must be a contiguous block of un-assigned LEDs in
the target list. The paste operation will use the first empty block that is as big or bigger than
the copied block. The empty block must be correctly aligned on a frame boundary if the
copied items span frames.
The default paste operation will make an exact copy of the display items, assigning the next
logical LED and switch numbers. The new copy will have the same correlations, Type,
Assignment and Tags.
Display Items of type Custom cannot be copied using the default paste. If Custom items are
included in the selection to copy, then the whole operation will fail.
Paste Special allows you to choose whether a new, separate copy or a so called reference
copy is made. A reference copy usually applies to switches. A reference copies of a switch
and its LEDs operate in parallel. For example - circuits can be bypassed from one location
and un-bypassed from another. Correlations added to one switch are automatically applied
to its reference copies. A normal copy of a switch will operate alone.
If a block of items includes un-assigned LEDs then the same pattern will be retained in the
copy. That is, the un-assigned LEDs are effectively copied along with the assigned LEDs.
Note: Copying Master Phone (Call Control) correlations is not allowed.
Drag&Drop of Display Items
Similar to Copy and Paste, you can Drag and Drop a range or selection of display items.
Select the rows you wish to drag by highlighting them. With the mouse pointer over the
selected items, hold down the left mouse button and drag them. You can drag them to the
job tree in the left hand pane. The mouse cursor will change to indicate whether the current
drop target is suitable. For display items the allowed targets are display adders within/under
the Main Display, LCD Annunciators or LED Annunciators. If the adders are not currently
visible, let the mouse pointer "hover" over the parent node. It will expand and you can
continue dragging to the desired destination adder.
Release the mouse button.
