Transferring Components Between Spools

Transfer a Component to an Existing Spool

You can transfer components from a spool to an existing spool using the To Existing Spool command.

In the work area, select the component in the spool you want to transfer.
On the context toolbar, click Transfer Spool members .
Select the component again.
Green arrows labelled 1 and 2 are displayed at the extremities of the component (if the component is a tee, a third green arrow 3 is added).

Important:

The existing spool must have one of its components connected with the component you select in the original spool.
The existing spool must have the same mode (In Link / In Move) as the originating spool.

If one of these conditions is not satisfied, a warning is displayed and you will not be able to proceed with your selection.

Do one of the following:
- To confirm your choice and initiate the transfer, click OK.
- To cancel the transfer, close the dialog box.
If you click OK, the components are transferred.
