System Effects

With the Copy Std Structure – All levels option, the structure above will result in the following project structure:

To copy and expand the entire standard structure, including the substructure of non-serial parts, use the Copy Standard Structure menu option. One Level,  All Levels, Std. Levels and Serial Levels options are available. The Std. Planned Part flag, document survey, the list of documents connected to the standard part, and the part's spare part list are copied with the standard part to the corresponding new project items.

For Standard planned, PMRP planned or DOP parts, it is not necessary to copy the structure. For these parts, copying the structure will be determined by the value of the Remove Sub Structure flag.
