Chapter 9

Using Copy and Paste

9–2

Note these additional considerations regarding the

Copy/Paste

features:

When you copy the settings of the source into the destination, the
previous settings of the destination are overwritten.

The source selection remains as selected until a different source is
selected. This means that you can copy the source settings to a number of
different components of the same type.

When you pick the

Paste

box, the current settings of the selected source

are copied. For example, suppose that you select gage 1 and pick the

Copy

box, then change some of the settings of gage 1 before picking the

Paste

box. When you do pick the

Paste

box, the current gage 1 settings

would be copied.

You can copy a tool, viewport, serial port, or string source to a destination
in a different toolset, but only if the resolutions of the respective cameras
assigned to the two toolsets are the same.

A serial port source to a viewport destination, or a viewport source to a

string entered, or a viewport source to a viewport destination which has at
least one string entered.
