Sequence of operations
Manage
program
The "Manage programs" softkey must be pressed.
Copy
Position the cursor on the file that you want to copy and press the
"Copy" softkey.
The file is marked as the source for copying. An existing file is either
overwritten or, if the name or file type was changed, saved with the
new name.
Please note that several "Save as" dialogs give you the chance to
change the file name and file type before the files are overwritten.
The "Save as" dialog box appears if the "All without query" vertical
softkey was not pressed and:
1. you have pressed "Insert" for the first time.
2. the file cannot be created in the current directory.
3. the file already exists.
Paste
OK
Press the "Insert" softkey, enter a new name and confirm with "OK".
When you insert a file in a workpiece directory, you can change its file
type with the "Toggle" key. The file types are automatically adjusted in
the global part program and the global subprogram directory.
Additional information
• Only files can be stored in a workpiece directory but not other
workpiece directories.
• If the target specified is incorrect an error message is output.
• If a workpiece directory is copied, all the files that it contains are
copied at the same time.
• If the files of a workpiece directory are copied to a new directory,
all the files with the same directory name are renamed to the new
workpiece directory name.
• If a job list with the name of the directory exists, all the instructions
in that job list are renamed.
This function only applies to the "Program" operating area.
When you copy under "Services", the names remain unchanged.
