Copy Draft

What it Does

Makes a duplicate of the draft you have open and gives it a new name. The copy gets all the saved versions of the original, so you can use Undo in the copy too. If the draft is memorized, its memorized steps are copied. Any images or PDFs you imported are copied as well.

The copy is saved, but it is not opened. You stay in your current draft.

Use this when you want to save a pattern at an important point, or try a change without risking the original.

How to Use

1. Open the draft you want to copy.
2. Select File > Copy Draft from the main menu. The window is titled Copy to New Draft.
3. Type a name in Draft Name.
4. Select Copy & Save to make the copy, or Close to cancel.
5. To work on the copy, select File > Open Existing Draft and select it. See Open Existing Draft.

The window closes after you select Copy & Save. PMP does not show a message, so check the list in File > Open Existing Draft to confirm.

info

Only versions you saved are copied. If the draft has never been saved, a message says there is nothing to copy yet and the window stays open. The Draft Name box must not be empty, and the name must not belong to another draft already (capitals do not matter). If it does, a message asks you to enter a different name.

tip

Give the copy a different name from the original so you can tell them apart in the list.
