    Insert a copy of a panel footprint

    Copies a selected panel footprint on the active drawing.

    Use the Copy Footprint tool instead of AutoCAD Copy when a panel component footprint has a balloon or a nameplate associated with it. The program establishes invisible Xdata pointers tied to a footprint, and updates them in the Copy Footprint operation.

    2. Select the panel component to copy.
    3. Click the drawing to specify the insertion point or enter a value.

      The Panel Layout - Component Insert/Edit dialog box displays.

    4. Specify any necessary values such as the component tag, catalog information, or description.
    5. Click OK.
