This page defines additional choices that affect the source objects to copy.

Related Assemblies

Copies all assemblies related to the objects to copy. The parents of those assemblies, up to the Lowest Common Parent in the assembly hierarchy, are also included in the copy process. By default, this option is not selected; however, when this option is selected, you can define the destination for the copied assemblies by selecting the destination assembly parent on the Assembly tab. If the objects to copy belong to multiple Blocks, those Blocks are also included in the copy process. However, when a Block is copied, it loses its geometry and it is transformed into an ordinary Assembly.

Structural Manufacturing Objects

Copies structural manufacturing objects related to the portion of the model that you want to copy. This option is only available when Related Assemblies is selected.

Related WBS Items

Copies the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) items related to the objects to copy. By default, this copy option is not checked. When you check this option, you can define the destination WBS parent for the copied objects on the WBS tab. If the objects to copy belong to multiple WBS projects, those projects are also included in the copy process. However, when a project is copied, it loses its identity and it is transformed into a WBS item.

Volumes in Range

Copies the volumes that contain or intersect the other objects being copied and to maintain the hierarchical structure of the space hierarchy. By default, this copy option is not selected. When you select this option, you can define the destination space parent for the copied objects on the Space tab.

Some types of filters work better than others when From Filter and Related Assemblies are selected. For example, a system filter, a volume filter, or a permission group filter usually works well for this purpose. An object type filter or a property filter that does not return parts does not work for this purpose because the command finds the related assemblies by starting with the source objects returned by the filter. If the objects returned by the filter are not members of assemblies, then no assemblies are copied. The members of an assembly are always parts. Therefore, to get good results, the filter should return parts. For example, if an object type filter with pipe runs only is defined, the pipe runs are copied correctly, but the associated assemblies are not copied; therefore, you must include the pipe parts in the object type filter to copy the assemblies.

Systems Tab

Defines the destination system parents for the objects copied from the source system that you previously selected.

Source Parent

Shows the parent of each copied system.

Destination Parent

Shows the destination parent for the system to be copied to. You must create the destination systems required before you start Model Data Reuse command.

Assembly Tab

Defines the destination assembly parents for the objects copied from the source assembly. This tab is only available if you selected Related Assemblies.

Source Parent

Displays Lowest Common Parent (TBD). The actual lowest common parent of the source assembly is determined during the MDR process.

Destination Parent

Shows the destination assembly parent. No default destination assembly parent is automatically set. You must select the parent by clicking this column, and then clicking browse.

WBS Tab

Defines the destination WBS parent for the copied objects. This tab is available only if you have selected the Related WBS Items option.

Source Parent

Displays Lowest Common Parent (TBD). The actual lowest common parent of the source WBS is determined during the MDR process.

Destination Parent

Shows the destination WBS parent. To select the destination WBS parent, click this column, and then click the browse button to display the Select Destination WBS Dialog.

Space Tab

Defines the destination space parent for the copied volumes. This tab is available only if you have selected the Volumes in Range option.

Source Parent

Displays Lowest Common Parent (TBD). The actual lowest common parent of the source space is determined during the MDR process.

Destination Parent

Shows the destination space parent. No default destination space parent is automatically set. You must select the parent by clicking this column and then clicking the browse button.
