Copying an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape

You can copy an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape in your OpenLNS CT drawing to create a
new SmartShape with the same properties of the original. For example, if you copy a device
SmartShape, IzoT Commissioning Tool creates a new device SmartShape with the same device
template, configuration properties, and device properties as the SmartShape from which it was copied.
Extension records (data records created by OpenLNS tools such as IzoT Commissioning Tool to store
tool-specific information) that indicate they can be copied will also be copied.

You can copy an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape in two ways:

• Right-click the IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape, select Copy from the shortcut menu,

right-click an empty space in your OpenLNS CT drawing, and then click Paste.

• Select the IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape, hold down CTRL, and then drag the

SmartShape to a new location within the current drawing page.

You can copy multiple SmartShapes at the same time by holding down CTRL and clicking the
SmartShapes you want to copy, or clicking an empty space in the drawing page and dragging a
selection net around the SmartShapes.

If you copy a device SmartShape, the copy represents a different physical device than the original.
You must assign a new Neuron ID to the new device SmartShape when it is commissioned. You
cannot use this method to copy a network variable or message tag SmartShape. See Creating a
Network Variable SmartShape
for instructions on how to copy a network variable SmartShape. You
can only copy a connection reference SmartShape in conjunction with the attached Connector
SmartShape.

Tip: To copy an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape from one to network to another, create a
custom master SmartShape in the current OpenLNS CT drawing and then drag the master SmartShape
to the destination drawing. See Chapter 12, Creating and Using a Custom IzoT Commissioning Tool
Master SmartShape, for more details on creating master SmartShapes.

Deleting an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape

You can delete an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape. To do this, either right-click the
SmartShape and then click Delete on the shortcut menu, or click the SmartShape and then press
DELETE. If you selected the Confirm Deletes check box in the Network Properties: General
options category (see Appendix A), click Yes to confirm the change.

If you remove a SmartShape that requires deleting other SmartShapes associated with it (a device with
one or more functional blocks assigned to it, for example), a message opens warning you that the
associated SmartShapes will also be deleted. Click Yes to delete the SmartShape and the additional
SmartShapes; click No to cancel the operation.

When you delete an IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShape, the physical devices on the network may
be affected. In this case, IzoT Commissioning Tool and OpenLNS Server change the network
configuration of the devices when IzoT Commissioning Tool is OnNet and the OpenLNS server can
communicate with the devices. The following table summarizes how physical devices are affected
when you delete various IzoT Commissioning Tool SmartShapes.
