The following use case is supported by this configuration:
-
Drawing documents can have references to documents with Document Type ‘Object’.
-
When the drawing is copied with references, it depends on the purpose of the copy whether the referenced objects should also be copied.
-
When during copying a referenced document with Document Type ‘Object’ is encountered, the user will be asked whether objects should also be copied.
-
If another referenced document with Document Type ‘Object’ is encountered, the answer that the user entered will be reused.
Configuration
You can download the configuration which implements this use case here. This configuration does not depend on any external components. It can be imported into an empty Vault and will be fully functional.
