Copying

an Object from Diagram to Diagram

In Capital Systems Integrator, you can copy topology objects and comment graphics from one topological diagram to another. You cannot copy wiring. As a result, you cannot copy placement data. If you have overridden a default name on an object in Capital Systems Integrator, the system preserves the new name when it copies the object.

Procedure

1. Select the objects that you want to copy in the diagram window, press Space Bar and enter Copy, or right-click the selection and choose Copy from the pop-up menu. Alternatively, you can use the key combination CTRL + C.

2. Open the other diagram and either right-click the diagram window and choose the Paste menu option from the pop-up menu or click the diagram window, press Space Bar and enter Paste. Alternatively, you can use the key combination CTRL + V. If you do any of these, the copies of the objects are given unique names.In addition, you can use the key combination CTRL + SHIFT + V. If you do this, the copies of the objects retain the same names as the original objects. In Capital Systems Integrator, you can copy and paste the following objects: Slot - When a slot is copied, slot connectors, holes and physical devices are also copied.

Bundle

Bundle region

• Regions cannot be copied partially or by themselves. If you select enough bundle segments to cover the entire region (or the entire bundle), the region is copied.

Slot connector and hole - These cannot be copied on their own but are copied with slots. The cavities of a slot connector are copied only if the connector has a part number. Connector refinement data is not copied. Harness-side connectors are copied when their connected bundles and the slot are copied. Slot device connectors are copied with a slot connector.

Inline connector

• If you select one half of an inline pair, both halves are copied. If the inline has no part number, no cavities are copied. If either half has a part number, the cavities are copied. Harness-side connectors are copied when their connected bundles and the inline connector are copied.

Interface connector

Node - Nodes cannot be copied independently. They are only copied with a bundle. Reference nodes are ignored.

Text

Graphics

Any connections or relationships between two objects are copied only if both objects are copied (for example, a pin and a wire). No relationships are created between new and old objects when objects are pasted.

3. An object's constraints and referenced rules are copied with the object. Directly-added constraints (static or dynamic) are copied, but references to project-wide rules are lost when copying to another project.
