  1. Select the following menu items: Utilities > Master data > Symbol > Copy
  2. In the Symbol selection dialog, select the symbol(s) you would like to copy. Multiple selection is possible here.
  3. Click [OK].
  4. Select the symbol library to which you would like to copy the symbols under Target in the Copy symbols dialog: Open the drop-down list in the Symbol library field.
  5. In the Number field overwrite the default or open the drop-down list of unallocated numbers.
  6. In the Name field enter the symbol name by overwriting the default <(Original name (copy)> for copies in symbol libraries where this name already exists or <Original name> if no symbol exists with this name).
  7. In the Description field enter a descriptive text for the symbol.
  8. Select the check box in the With variants field if the symbol should be copied together with its existing variants. If the check box is deselected, then only the first existing variant will be copied.
