Copy Child Resources to a Resource

Use the Copy Children dialog box to copy child resources to another resource within the same resource file.

To copy child resources to an existing resource:

  1. Display the Resource view of the resource file that you want to update.
  2. In the Resource view, click resource whose child resources you want to copy to another resource and take one of the following actions:
    • In the Codes group on the Edit tab, click Copy Children.
    • Right-click the resource and select Copy Children on the shortcut menu.
    The Copy child resources from resource field displays the resource that you right-clicked. Cobra will copy child resources from this resource to the resource that you will select in the To resource field.
    Note: You cannot use this feature if the resource file has a non-significant structure. You can only copy child resources to a resource that does not have its own child resources.
  3. In the To resource field, enter, or use to select, the resource to which Cobra will copy the child resources.
  4. Click OK. Cobra copies the child resources to the selected resource.
