When adding a large number of components at one time the Component Copy frame can make life a lot easier.
Using an existing component as a template, you can make up to 99 copy components at one time. The component numbers will be generated in sequential order.
For example if you choose to make four copies of a component and the number you type in is 881, the remaining three requests will be numbered 882, 883, 884.
Make Copies
To copy a component, enter the number of an existing component in the Number field in the Existing Component Information section.
In the New Component Information section, enter the number of copies (max is 99). Next, you can enter the Component Number manually. Click the Save button.
NOTE: the number cannot be a duplicate of an existing component, unit, or department number.
Upon saving, you will be redirected to the Component Main frame with the new component’s data displayed. From here you can make any necessary edits to the component copy or copies.
