Using Advanced Copy

Translating Elements

Advanced Copy lets you move one or more elements along the reference planes.

  1. In the Target box, select a repository or a product.
  2. In the Mode list, select Translation.
  3. In the Source box, select a reference plane from which translation will be computed.

    The source reference plane can be independent of the selected element.

  4. In the Destination box, select another reference plane up to which the translation will be computed.

    Important: The elements are translated with respect to the difference between source plane and destination plane.

  5. Optional: In the Offset box, enter the required value to apply offset to the destination planes.
  6. Select one or more elements to translate.
  7. Optional: Select the Remove Useless Object check box to delete the objects automatically which are in update error after translation.
  8. Optional: Select the Duplicate check box if you want to copy the structure object while translating it.
  9. Optional: Select the Automatic Copy and Reroute of GSD Objects check box to copy and automatically reroute all the wireframe objects that are used as input for the structure object.

    By default, this check box is selected. If this check box is cleared, you need to manually reroute the wireframe objects.

  10. Click OK.
