Step-by-step instructions :

1 . Start Copy Job CMU Templates to Global using the following method:

Method 1 : Home > Utilities > Utility Functions > Copy Job to Global > CMU Templates: Copy Job to Global . If prompted to do so, enter the " Utility Password " that has been set up for your network.

2 . A selection dialog opens. On it is a list of the CMU templates in your current Job .

10x8x16 Bond Beam  10x8x16 Double Flush  10x8x16 Stretcher  12x8x16 Bond Beam  12x8x16 Double Flush  12x8x16 Stretcher  14x8x16 Bond Beam  14x8x16 Double Flush  14x8x16 Stretcher  16x8x16 Bond Beam  16x8x16 Pier Block  16x8x16 Stretcher  1x8x16 Solid  3x8x16 Regular  4x8x16 Regular  4x8x16 Solid  6x8x16 Bond Beam  6x8x16 Regular  6x8x8 Half Block  8x8x16 Bond Beam  8x8x16 Double Flush  8x8x16 Header  8x8x16 Stretcher

Note: If there are no CMU templates in your current Job, you will be notified of such, and this operation will end without the selection dialog being opened.

Alternative 1 : Select the names of the templates that you want to be copied to the global CMU templates repository, then press the " OK " button at the bottom of this selection dialog. Go to step 3.

Alternative 2 : Press the " Cancel " button to end the Copy Job CMU Templates to Global operation. Do not continue.

3 . One of the following happens:

Possibility 1 : An alert dialog opens if any of the CMU templates you selected in step 2 reside in the global repository. If you press " Yes " on this dialog, you will overwrite the CMU templates with those in your current Job. If you press " No " on this dialog, the Copy Global Rebar Items... operation ends. Do not continue.

One or more of the selected items already exists. Do you want to overwrite?

Note: Since global templates cannot be used directly to define a CMU profile, there is no danger that overwriting such global templates will have negative repercussions for the model. Only job CMU templates can be accessed by CMU edit screens -- global templates cannot.

Possibility 2 : None of the templates you selected in step 2 reside in the global repository. The templates are copied to the repository, and the operation ends.

4 . The templates selected in step 2 continue to exist in your Job as CMU templates and copies of these same templates are now global CMU templates. Users who want to use the templates you just copied in their own Jobs can do so by using a related utility called Copy Global CMU Templates to Job .
