5.3.1 Copying units

To copy one or more units that are defined in a jobnet:

Organization of this subsection

(1) Copying units only

(2) Copying units and relations

(1) Copying units only

To copy only the units defined in a jobnet:

In the map area of the Jobnet Editor window, display the jobnet that contains the unit or units to be copied.

Use one of the following methods to select the icon or icons of the target units:

If you want to select one unit:

Click the icon.

If you want to select multiple units:

Either use the mouse to enclose a range of icons, or hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired units.

If you want to select all units:

Either click Edit and then Select All, or hold down the Ctrl key and press the A key.

To release the selected status, click the icon if only one icon is selected. To deselect multiple icons, hold down the Ctrl key and click the selected icons.

Choose Edit and then Copy.

In the map area of the Jobnet Editor window, display the jobnet where the target unit or units are to be copied to.

Select Exclusive edit.

Choose Edit and then Paste.
The icon or icons are copied. The place where the icon or icons are copied depends on the number of icons selected in step 2.

When one icon was selected

The icon is copied to the place in the map area where the mouse was clicked last.

When multiple icons were selected

The icons are copied to the places that are automatically calculated using the last clicked point in the map area as the guide. To copy the icons into a place you desire, click on the place, then choose Edit and then Paste.

When icons are copied, the unit names are changed so that there are no multiple instances of the same unit name.

Supplementary notes

When you copy a unit, the attributes defined for the unit are also copied. However, the owner changes to the JP1 user who performed the copy.

When you copy a unit, relations are canceled.

You can also copy the units that are displayed in the tree area and list area of the JP1/AJS3 - View window (Main window), and the tree area and list area of the Jobnet Editor window.

(2) Copying units and relations

To copy multiple units including the relations between the units:

In the map area of the Jobnet Editor window, display the jobnet that contains the units that you want to copy.

Use one of the following methods to select the icons for the target units:

If you want to select multiple units:

Either use the mouse to enclose a range of icons, or hold down the Ctrl key and click the desired units.

If you want to select all units:

Either click Edit and then Select All, or hold down the Ctrl key and press the A key.

To clear the selection of an icon, hold down the Ctrl key and click the icon.

Choose Edit and then Copy.

In the map area of the Jobnet Editor window, display the jobnet where the target unit or units are to be copied to.

Select Exclusive edit.

Choose Edit and then Paste (Extension).
The icons are copied to the destination map area. The copy begins from the position at which the mouse was last clicked. The icons are pasted with the same layout as that of the source map area, when possible. If it is impossible to paste the icons with the same layout, the starting position is changed to maintain the same layout.
Note that copied units are renamed to avoid duplication of unit names.

Cautionary note

When you copy a nested jobnet, all the subordinate units are also copied. Note, however, that the definitions of the subordinate units to be copied do not have the time that the Copy operation was performed but the time that the Paste operation was performed. Therefore, if you select multiple units in the map area that include a nested jobnet and copy them under a nested jobnet, the status of the copied units might not be what you expect.

Supplementary note

When you copy a unit, the attributes of that unit are also copied. The owner, however, is changed to the JP1 user who copied the unit.
