The Format Options Dialog – Copying an Existing AutoNumber Format

If a new AutoNumber Format should have similar options as an existing AutoNumber Format , it can be created easily by copying the existing AutoNumber Format . To copy an existing AutoNumber Format , select the AutoNumber Format to copy and then select the [ Copy ] button in the [ Formats ] tab:

The process will create a copy of the selected AutoNumber Format with exactly the same options:

NOTE: Unless the [ Binders] option to Link Format Numbers is selected (explained later in the AutoNumber Binders Options chapter), it is not supported for two or more AutoNumber Formats to have the exact same definitions within their options, as this could result in duplicate part numbers. After copying the existing AutoNumber Format , the newly created AutoNumber Format’s options should be modified to have a uniquely defined scheme.
