Message Examples: Dragging Objects from one Project to Another

CIMPLICITY has several built-in safeguards to insure that the dragged items will operate correctly in the second project.

Messages for these safeguards include the following.

  • If other points are associated with a dragged device, a message will ask if you want to copy those items over also.

    Example

  • If you accidentally drag the items to the wrong location, the items will not be copied. An error message may report that the items cannot be copied.

    Example

  • If you drag an item that has associated items that you have not configured in the second project, the items will not be copied and a message will explain why.

    Example

  • If points you are dragging already exist in the second project, a message will ask you if you want to overwrite them.
