Copying Items Between Projects

You can easily copy components from one product tree to another:

1.	Open Product tree views for both the source and target projects.

2.	Activate the source Product tree view.

3.	Select one or more items to copy in the source Product tree view.

4.	Hold down the left mouse button and drag-and-drop the selected item(s) onto the target item in the target Product tree view.

5.	RAM Commander displays the target Product tree view with the new items.

Note: When copying items into the same project, open a new Product tree view for that project by choosing New Window from the Window menu. Use one Product tree view as the source and the other as the target.

You can also open up several Product tree views for one project and copy components between them. This is useful in cases where you add virtually identical assemblies to a project.
