Copying a Logical Feature to Another Object

You can reuse or copy a logical feature to another object.

For the Copy to action, you start with the object whose structure you want to copy to another object, then you select the object to which you want to copy structural elements.

Note: If you manually add a variant, option group, variant value, or option to a model version and then add it as a design variant to a logical feature, that variant, option group, variant value, or option is retained in the model version context even if the design variant is removed.

Before you begin: View the Logical View page for the model version or logical feature. See Logical View Tab on the Logical Structures Page.
