Copy Model

This function allows the user to copy a model and the pieces within the model. Copy Model can be used to quickly copy a model with a new style number. The new style number is applied to both the model and the pieces during the function. Additionally, the new style can be opened in Pattern Design or the Model Editor after the copy has been made.

2. In the dialog box that appears, select the model name to copy. Select Open.
