Renaming Objects for Purposes of Copy

By default, YCPYMDLOBJ copies an object in the source model to the target model using the Copy name specified in the model object’s description. If you need to copy an object in the source model to another name in the target model, you can rename the object in the model object list for purposes of copy. For example, you might need to do this to avoid overwriting an object in the target model that has the same object name and type but a different definition. Note that this does not change the name of the object in the source model.

To rename a model object for a particular copy, use selection option 7 on the YEDTCPYLST panel. Enter the name of the object in the target model in the Name for purposes of copy field.

Note: The object in the source model has a different name in each of several target models, you need to rename the object each time you copy it to a different target model.

Press F8 to view a list of all objects that have been renamed for purposes of copy.
