Copy an instance of an Add-On Graphic between projects

Copy an instance of an Add-On Graphic between projects to reuse the Add-On Graphic in another project. Copied instances of Add-On Graphics may be contained in groups.
Add-On Graphics must have unique names. Copying an instance of an Add-On Graphic between projects copies the definition of the Add-On Graphic. If a definition of an Add-On Graphic with the same name already exists in the target project, keep both Add-On Graphic definitions, replace the existing Add-On Graphic definition, or choose not to paste the Add-On Graphic definition.
To copy an instance of an Add-On Graphic between projects
  1. Open the source project and screen containing the Add-On Graphic to copy.
  2. On the screen, right-click the Add-On Graphic and select
    Copy
    .
  3. Open the target project and screen to contain the pasted Add-On Graphic.
  4. Right-click the screen canvas in the target project and then select
    Paste
    .
    TIP:
    If the instance of the Add-On Graphic is linked to a definition of an Add-On Graphic that does not exist in the target project, the definition is added to the
    Add-On Graphics
    folder, and the Add-On Graphic is added to the
    Toolbox
    of the target project.
  5. Pasting an instance of an Add-On Graphic in a different project where a definition of an Add-On Graphic has the same name displays options:
    • Keep Both.
       Append the name of the copied Add-On Graphic definition with _001 or increment number. The definition appears in the
      Add-On Graphics
       folder and the Add-On Graphic appears in the
      Toolbox
      .
    • Replace.
      Replace the existing Add-On Graphic definition with the copied definition. Any existing instances of the Add-On Graphic are updated with the new definition of the Add-On Graphic.
    • Cancel.
       Do not paste the copied Add-On Graphic definition into the project. Paste the instance of the Add-On Graphic into the target project and link the instance to the existing Add-On Graphic definition with the same name.
      TIP:
      • When copying multiple Add-On Graphics that are linked to multiple Add-On Graphic definitions that have the same names as existing Add-On Graphic definitions in the target project, select the
        Do this for the x remaining items
         checkbox to apply the selected option to each copied Add-On Graphic definition.
      • When copying the definition of an Add-On Graphic that has an image that exists in the source and target projects, replace the image or cancel. Images are copied to the
        Assets > Images
         folder of the
        Project Explorer
        .
Change the properties and behavior of the Add-On Graphic in the target project. Any changes to an instance of an Add-On Graphic do not affect any other instances of the Add-On Graphic.
