The objective of this chapter is to describe how to use the Copy and Paste
features of the USER–PAK option in order to copy the settings of one tool
(gage or window) to that of another like tool, or to copy the settings and/or
strings from one viewport or serial port to another.
With the USER–PAK option installed, Copy and Paste boxes are added to
the Gage and Window menus, as well as to the Config. Output menus.

settings from a selected component (tool, viewport, serial port, or string) to
one or more other components of the same type.

Select the source – Access the appropriate menu, and pick the Next or
Previous box as necessary to set the number to the desired source

Paste box will designate the letter and/or number(s) of the source.
•

set the number to the destination – the component (tool, viewport, serial
port, or string) which which will receive the settings from the source.
