Editing in Run or Emulate Mode

Copy / Paste Control Settings

Must be in run or emulate mode. Must copy to the same type of component as the source component. Not all settings copy over. For example, if you copy from an Audio Player while a file is playing, the time fields do not copy to the target component. After copying the settings, you cannot undo the paste - Ctrl-Z does not work.

Select the component, right click , choose the active copy icon. Select the target component, right click, choose the active paste icon. All control settings are copied to the target component.
