Using
The left side of the plugin window contains a list of views and schedules of the current document. You must check the views you want to duplicate. For views and Schedules that are pre-selected in the Project Browser, the checkboxes are checked automatically when the plugin is started. You can also specify the number of copies of each view. Each view in the list has a Duplicate name field that allows you to specify a new name for duplicate views.
Search by name/number – text field for searching from the list of views. Works "on the fly" – enter a value and in the list there are only those views in the name of which the specified text is present. The search is case sensitive
Select all views – check the checkboxes on all views in the list or uncheck all the views in the list.
– opens a dialog for searching and replacing text in new view names:
The right part of the window contains settings for duplicating views.
To the right of the drop-down list of configurations, there are buttons that allow you to create a new configuration , duplicate a configuration , rename a configuration , export and import a configuration, and remove the current configuration .
When duplicating a views to specify the uniqueness of a duplicate, plugin add the numbering to the view name. Numbering is added at the beginning or end of the view name, depending on the option selected in the window. The numbering can be separated by the symbol selected in the drop-down list by enabling the corresponding option. You can also add a prefix and a suffix for the name of the duplicate view. In this case, the plugin will continue to number without taking into account the prefix and suffix of the view name. For example, if you duplicate a sheet with the number А50, the prefix В-, adding the numbering at the beginning using the separating character "." will result in a new sheet number В-1.А50.
Do not add numbering if possible – when this checkbox is checked, if the view name or legend name will be unique with a prefix and/or suffix, the numbering will not be added.
