Specifies parents for the newly copied and about-to-be mirrored objects. For example, you can assign a parent system for a copied object. You can review the system hierarchy in the Workspace Explorer on the System tab at the right of the display.
This dialog box also provides information about the objects related to your selection for the Mirror Copy command. The related objects are listed on this dialog box even though you did not specifically click these objects. You can click each row, and the object highlights in the software. An example of related objects is the set of features associated with a pipe run.
Description
Provides a description of the input object.
Selection
Shows the parent associated with the object.
Delete Optional
Removes the text in the Selection column for rows in the grid that start with the word "Optional." This button is useful in large copy-and-paste operations when the grid is filled with many optional tasks, and you want to remove all these items at once.
Show Clipboard window
Creates a window that displays the Clipboard contents, including the input objects.
Keep original permission groups
Controls the permission group assignment for the pasted objects. This option is helpful when you are pasting large data sets containing different types of objects (piping, equipment, structure). Here are some important points to remember about this option.
-
When this option is selected, the software assigns all copied objects to the original permission group, as long as you have write access to that permission group.
-
When this option is selected, if you do not have write access or if the permission group does not exist (such as in the case when mirroring and copying from one database to another), then the software assigns the objects to the active permission group.
-
When this option is not selected, the software assigns the objects to the active permission group.
-
When pasting from one database to another, permission groups are considered identical if they share the same name.
Paste in place
This option is checked but not available to change in the Mirror and Copy workflow.
