Maintaining and Using a Subset › Copy a Subset

Copy a Subset

Copy Subset Definition creates a subset definition that lists the same subset type, scoping objects, protections, and expansions as the subset being copied. Remember that Copy Subset Definition does not cause the subset to be expanded. It only copies the initial list of scoping objects.

To save time, use Copy Subset Definition. By copying a subset and then modifying it, you can create variations of a subset without having to recreate the basic subset each time.

Note: Do not attempt to copy an expanded subset after checkout to a toolset for shared use by several users. Always use the Copy a Subset function on the Host Encyclopedia to perform a subset copy.

To change the copy, use Modify Subset Definition or Subset Definition Summary.

Follow these steps:

1. From the Main Menu, select Host Encyclopedia Functions, Subset Management, Copy Subset Definition or enter 1.4.5.

                            Copy Subset Definition                                
                                                                                  
                      Copy from                                                   
                          Model Name      ____________ +                          
                          Subset Name     ____________ +                          
                                                                                  
                      Copy to                                                     
                          New subset      ____________ +                          
   
   

2. Enter the Host Encyclopedia name of the model. To use the model name selection list instead, tab to the model name and press F4.

   Note: You can scroll or use F (Find) or L (Locate) commands on all selection lists. Enter any character except period (.) by the item you want and press Enter.

3. Enter the subset name and press Enter, or tab to the subset name and press F4 to use the subset selection list.
4. Enter a name for the new subset. Press Enter. To return to Subset Management, click Exit.
