Copying the Generic Object Only
* 
Activity with family table objects is only available in Windchill PDMLink or Windchill ProjectLink.
* 
Save As is supported for objects and structures shared to a project. The new object or structure copy must be created in the active Windchill ProjectLink project context.
For a user with access to the project context only, the Save As action is supported from the project Folders page Actions menu and right-click menu option, only. This creates a new object or structure in project context only. However, for a user with access to both product and project contexts, the Save As action is also supported from CAD document information page. When the Save As action is invoked from the object’s information page, the new object or structure will be created in the product context.
To copy a generic object:
1. In Windchill, navigate to a Folders page listing your family table objects.
2. In the folder table, generic objects are denoted by the icon. Select the table row that contains the generic you want to copy.
3. In the selected row, use the right-click menu to select Save As. The Save As window opens.
4. In the Save As window, follow the guidelines and procedure (from step 2 on) for “Saving Commonspace Objects as New Objects.” See Saving Commonspace Objects As New Objects.
