You can copy and paste many types of catalog data within the same catalog.
General Considerations
When copying and pasting within the same catalog, you can:
Cableway and Cable Trays
When copying and pasting cableway and cable tray data within the same catalog, remember
that:
Conduit
When copying and pasting conduit data within the same catalog, remember that:
Equipment
When copying and pasting equipment data within the same catalog, remember that:
Piping
When copying and pasting piping data within the same catalog, remember that:
Structure
When copying and pasting structural data within the same catalog, remember that:
When copying and pasting between your test catalog and your production catalog, you
must ensure that both catalogs have the same schema. This means that the same object
classes exist and that the object classes have the same properties defined for them.
The exact content of the catalog for the object classes do not have to be the same.
General Considerations
When copying and pasting between two catalogs, you must:
-
Copy and paste the select lists first. Most all other catalog data relies on the select
lists being there. Trying to copy and paste other data before the select lists are
present in the catalog will cause errors. See Copy All Select Lists between Two Catalogs.
-
Copy and paste part classes and interfaces before you copy and paste parts.
-
The folder in the production catalog where data is pasted must match the folder in
the test catalog from where the data was copied.
Cableway and Cable Trays
When copying and pasting cableway and cable tray data between your test catalog and
your production catalog, remember that:
Conduit
When copying and pasting conduit data between your test catalog and your production
catalog, remember that:
Equipment
When copying and pasting equipment part data between your test catalog and your production
catalog, remember that:
Modules
When copying and pasting Modules between your test catalog and your production catalog,
remember that:
-
You can only copy and paste module classes as a whole. You cannot copy and paste individual
modules under the module class folder.
-
Using Tools Menu > Open Reference Catalog, you must open the catalog from which to copy the module class. After copying the
module class from the referenced Catalog, you can paste that module class into the
production catalog.
Piping
When copying and pasting piping data between your test catalog and your production
catalog, remember that:
-
You can copy and paste only entire piping material classes. You cannot copy and paste
individual piping material class rules between the two catalogs. See Copy Piping Material Classes between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Model Rules only as a whole (all the model rules at the same
time). You cannot copy and paste individual model rules, such as the Fluid Density
Rule for example, between the two catalogs. See Copy Model Rules between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Generic Dimensional Data only as a whole. You cannot copy and
paste only the Bolted End Data or only the Female End Data for example, between the
two catalogs. See Copy Piping Generic Dimensional Data between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Insulation data only as a whole. You cannot copy and paste
only the Materials or only the Specifications data for example, between the two catalogs.
See Copy Piping Insulation between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Pipe Bending Data only as a whole. You cannot copy and paste
only the Piping Bending Die Data or only the Pipe Bending Machine Data for example,
between the two catalogs. See Copy Piping Bending Data between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Tap Property Data between two catalogs. See Copy Tap Property Data between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste piping parts only as a whole.
-
Piping specification notes data must be copied and pasted last (after select lists,
the piping root folder, non-part data, and part data).
Structure
When copying and pasting structure data between your test catalog and your production
catalog, remember that:
-
You can copy and paste Structure Objects only as a whole. You cannot copy and paste
individual part classes under the objects node. For example, you cannot copy and paste
the Structure > Objects > Ladders node between the two catalogs. See Copy Structure Objects between Two Catalogs.
-
You can copy and paste Structure Materials data only as a whole. You cannot copy and
paste just Material Properties or just Plate Thickness between two catalogs. See Copy Structure Material between Two Catalogs.
Select Lists
You can copy and paste all the select lists or individual select lists between the
two catalogs. See Copy All Select Lists between Two Catalogs and Copy Individual Select List between Two Catalogs.
Copies the selected data and its associated relationships to the Clipboard. The copied
data replaces the previous contents of the Clipboard. The Clipboard retains the format
of the copied data as required until you paste it using the Paste Command. Review Copying and Pasting for important information because the copy command is not available in some situations.
