Copy Project (tipcs2210m000)

Use this session to copy project data to a new or existing project.

Note: You can only copy a main project to an existing main project.

If project data is copied to an existing project, LN gives a warning. During the copy process, project data is only added, which can have an undesirable mix effect if certain data is already present.
