Copy Associated Blocks to Other Instrument Tags - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

• You can only copy blocks to those tags that belong to loops you assigned to the CAD generation method. In the Domain Explorer, the icons of such loops appear with the C indicator.

• This procedure only allows you to copy blocks assigned to a specific instrument. If you want to copy all instrument blocks that all of the loop instrument contain, you need to perform a different procedure. For details, see Copy Automatically Assigned Blocks to Tags of Other Loops.

1. Press F7 to open the Domain Explorer and then expand the hierarchy to the loop level in the Loops folder.

2. In the tree view , expand the loop hierarchy to the tag level and select a source tag.

3. Expand the source tag, select and right-click the blocks that you want to copy to other tag numbers.

4. On the shortcut menu, select Actions > Copy Blocks to Tag Numbers.

5. In the dialog that opens, do one of the following to find tags belonging to the loops whose generation method is CAD:

   • Select Find to find all the tag numbers.

   • Set search parameters and then select Find to display tag numbers that match the search parameters.

6. Under Search results, select tag numbers to which you want to copy the blocks.

7. Select OK.

If any of the source blocks is associated with an instrument type, when copying the blocks, the software changes the block assignment method from automatic to manual. In the Loops folder of the Domain Explorer, under the target instrument tags, the block icons change from to .
