Copy Library

Graphic Template library can be copied on a different Sigmafine server or database to reuse the Graphic Templates in a different context. It does not allows copying libraries between different SFHub Visualizer instances and you should use the Export/Import Library feature for that.

1. Select Library​

  1. Open any display containing the Graphic Template library to be copied.
  2. Open the Symbol Libraries Panel from the display editor.
  3. Open the Library Property Panel and then select the Tools tab.

  2. Select the target Server and database where to copy the library.
  3. Press the Copy button.

Errors​

A log output is available via the Library Copy function.

Target database does not have a template named Template Name​

The target database does not contain a Sigmafine Element template referenced by a section in the source library. Thus, the source library section is not copied.

Corrective action: Manually create the library sections and then add the Graphic Templates as needed.

(See ADD A SECTION TO LIBRARY)

Symbol Symbol name, cannot find attribute reference Attribute name in target template Template name​

The target database does not contain a Sigmafine attribute template referenced by an annotation. Thus, the annotation will show an error message like:

Attribute Attribute name does not exist.

Corrective action: Change the Graphic Template in the copied library by removing the annotations referencing the missing attributes and adding the new ones.

(See CHANGE SYMBOLS IN LIBRARY)

Note

All the Standard / Global Graphic Templates must be configured before copying a Library.
