Copying and Pasting Windows and Objects

You can reuse map information by copying windows and objects to the same application version or to another version. When copying windows, all associated objects are copied. You can also copy just objects and paste them into a related parent window. If an object is used in a process, you cannot move the window.

If a window or object is copied to a location where the same name exists, then a number in parenthesis is added to the end of the window or object name that you are pasting. Example: New_Button(1)

Also, you can copy and paste windows and object from both Applications and Maps windows.
