Saving Family Tables Objects as New Objects
You can create a copy of any Family Table member (generic or instance) in your workspace by using the Save As command. Moreover, depending on how you select the family members, you can use the Save As command to do the following:
• Copy the entire set of instances.
• Copy the generic object only (as a standalone object).
• Copy a partial set of instances
• Copy a single instance object (as a new instance of existing table, not as a standalone object).
The Save as action can be initiated from several places in Windchill, for example:
• An actions menu on the Folders page that contains the object you want to copy
• An actions menu on the information page of the object
• The toolbar of a CAD document’s Structure tab
The following sections provide details on the various ways to copy Family Table members using Save As.
