Copying, moving, and deleting objects

As your needs change, you may want to rearrange the objects in libraries. To do that, you need to be able to copy and move objects between libraries or delete objects that you no longer need.

StepsTo copy or move objects using drag and drop:

  1. In the Tree view or the List view, select the objects you want to copy or move.

  2. Press Shift to move the entries.

    Otherwise, the objects will be copied.

  3. Drag the objects to a library in either view (or if the contents of a library are displayed in the List view, you can drop the objects there).

    If copying, InfoMaker replicates the objects. If moving, InfoMaker moves the objects and deletes them from the source library. If an object with the same name already exists, InfoMaker prompts you and, if you allow it, replaces the existing object with the copied or moved object.

StepsTo copy or move objects using a button or menu item:

  1. Select the objects you want to copy or move to another library.

  2. Click the Copy button or the Move button on the Painterbar, or select Entry>Copy or Entry>Move from the menu bar.

    The Select Library dialog box displays.

  3. Select the library to which you want to copy or move the objects and click OK.

StepsTo delete objects:

  1. Select the objects you want to delete.

  2. Click the Delete button, or select Entry>Delete from the menu bar.

    You are prompted to confirm the first deletion.

  3. Click Yes to delete the entry or Yes To All to delete all entries. Click No to skip the current entry and go on to the next selected entry.
