Clone Items

Used to clone attached Item Types from one element to another.

You can access this tool from a selected element's reset pop-up menu. The element should have item type information associated with it



Setting Description
Text Style Allows you to select a Text Style from the drop-down menu..
Annotation Scale Lock Allows you to change the annotation scale on the Item Type text field. This lock is synchronized with the icon in the Locks dialog Box and under the Utilities Tab. If you turn ON/OFF the Annotation Scale Lock in either of the three (Attach item dialog box, Locks Dialog box, and Utilities tab), it will reflect in all these three places.
Level Drop-down Allows you to place Item Type Text on selected level from drop-down menu. You will see all the levels available in the DGN in this drop-down, along with options like Active level and Match Element Level. Active Level lets you place the text on the active level in the DGN. With Match Element Level, you can place the text on the same level as the element. You no longer have to activate the level in the level manager to place the text. This will save time while placing the Item Type text. The Default level shown here is the default level from the level manager.
