Copy/Paste function

Using the copy/paste function, you can copy and paste objects between documents in the same or other IDE instances running on the same machine.

This function is not limited to the current configuration file, but can cross several configuration files, so that you can copy across other documents:

  • Within the same sites.
  • Across several sites within the same IDE instance.
  • Across several IDE instances.

After saving the xlt file, you can verify it with File > Compile.

In addition to doing a copy/paste in the same file, you can copy/paste the operation entries in the same site across several files. The Translation Configurator verifies whether the pasted action item's Input/Output Message Format are the same as the message formats of the pasted file.

Affected paste actions include COPY, CONCAT, TABLE, MATH, PATHCOPY, and CALL.

If you copy/paste the action entries between two sites, then the IDE prompts with a confirmation dialog box.
