Cut and paste in the Logical Organizer

You can use cut and paste to move items in the
Logical Organizer
. Moving an item in the
Logical Organizer
 has the following effects:
  • It unschedules the moved program (the pasted program is moved under
    Unscheduled Programs/Phases
     in the Controller Organizer).
  • Any descendant programs are also moved with the item in the
    Logical Organizer
    .
    TIP: If FactoryTalk Security is enabled, FactoryTalk Security permissions are required to create and delete items in the
    Controller Organizer
     and the
    Logical Organizer
    .
You use the
Logical Organizer
 to create a logical model that is organized in terms of procedures, objects, functions, equipment, or other more natural terms and concepts. You can then use drag-and-drop to schedule and unschedule programs in the
Controller Organizer
.
IMPORTANT:
Use caution when cutting, copying, and pasting components between different versions of the application. The application only supports pasting to the same version or newer version of the application. Pasting to a prior version of the application is not fully supported. When pasting to a prior version, the paste action may succeed but the results may not be as intended.
Be aware of the following items when cutting and pasting in the
Logical Organizer
.
  • When online, you must unschedule the program before cutting it from the
    Logical Organizer
    .
  • If the name of a pasted item conflicts with the name of an existing item under that target item, an integer is added to the name of the moved item to uniquely identify it (ProjAProgR001, ProjAProgR0011, ProjAProgR0012, and so on).
  • You can select multiple items to cut and paste. The paste operation proceeds if at least one item can be pasted (only the items that can be pasted are pasted). An error message is logged if one or more of the selected items cannot be pasted. If none of the selected items can be pasted, the NOT cursor appears when over the target.
  • You cannot paste a program if doing so would exceed the limit of 15 hierarchy levels, or if it would exceed the limit of 1000 child programs
To cut and paste items in the Logical Organizer:
  1. Right-click the item to cut, and then choose
    Cut
    .
  2. Right-click the target item, and then choose
    Paste
    . When you paste the item on the target item, the pasted item appears as a child item under that target item.
You can cut and paste items from the
Logical Organizer
 to a different project in a different copy of the Logix Designer application. Note that this removes the cut item from the original project. You can cut and paste an item from the
Logical Organizer
 to the
Controller Organizer
 or the
Logical Organizer
 in the different project.
When you paste the item on a target in the different project, the pasted item appears under the target. If a pasted program has any descendant programs or phases (defined in the Logical Organizer), they are cut and pasted with their parent item to the different project.
