Ways to copy features from a read only catalog.

From the Editor, you can open another catalog to review or copy the data.

• Internal authors can see all the catalogs;

• External authors should only see their own manufacturer catalogs and system catalogs (current feature that we are developing).

Click on + sign next to the already opened catalog.

Select the catalog version you want.

Copy and Paste

Select the features using the checkbox, right-click, and click to copy. This action will exhibit the same functionality as copying the data.

To paste the copied feature you have two options:

1. Paste here

   • Subitems, Features and Options, Attributes, Dependencies, Materials - if the feature depends on those things to work, they will be copied. EVERYTHING related to that feature will be copied.

     

2. Paste Special

   • Will paste only what you have selected.
