This dialog enables you to duplicate an existing typical loop and the typical tags associated with this loop. You can also add new typical tags that will be associated with the duplicated loop, or exclude the existing associated typical tags from the duplication process. Before duplicating a typical loop, you need to define a new typical loop name and change the numbers of the typical tags you want to duplicate.
You can duplicate one loop at a time.
To open this dialog, on the Edit menu, select Typical Loop Management, in the Typical Loop Management dialog, select the required loop and select Duplicate.
