Inserting a System File Block Diagram into an RBD Diagram Library File
In the System file, when a block diagram is selected in the RBD Table, you can use the Insert Selection into Library command to insert the entire diagram into an RBD Diagram Library file. Using this insertion method is the same as copying a record in the RBD Table in one file and pasting the record into the RBD Table in another file.
1. In the RBD Table, under the Block Diagrams folder, select the row for the diagram.
2. Select > . The Paste in Progress window opens as the selected diagram is inserted into the RBD Diagram Library file.
◦ If no RBD Diagram Library file is enabled in the Project, one is created in the Project and the diagram is then inserted into it.
◦ If one RBD Diagram Library file is enabled, the diagram is inserted into this file.
◦ If multiple RBD Diagram Library files are enabled, the diagram is inserted into the first one in the search order for which you have write permissions. For information about setting the search order, see Setting the Search Order for System and Library Files.
When inserting the System file diagram into the RBD Diagram Library file, the description assigned to it is copied into the new record in the RBD Table for this file. For information about what happens if data links, diagram links, or repeated blocks are present, see Handling of Links and Repeated Blocks for Diagram Library Files.
Once the paste process finishes, a window opens, indicating that the insertion is complete. Both the identifier assigned to the new library diagram and the RBD Diagram Library file in which it was inserted are shown.
3. Click OK.
You can open the RBD Diagram Library file that is specified and use the windows in it in basically the same manner as the RBD windows in the System file. Differences between the windows in this support file and the System file are noted in RBD Diagram Library File Overview.

When multiple RBD Diagram Library files are enabled, to insert selected blocks into a file other than the first one in the search order, you can copy the blocks in the RBD Blocks table in the System file and then paste them into the RBD Blocks table in the desired RBD Diagram Library file.
