Moving or Copying Objects within the Isight Library

You can move or copy objects from one folder to another to customize the structure of the Isight library.

If you are connected to a SIMULIA Execution Engine, you must have the proper permissions to move or copy an object. To move an object, you must have at least MODIFY permission. To copy an object, you must have at least READ permission.

Note: You cannot move or copy metamodels (e.g., components, plug-ins, units, etc.). These objects contain Isight-specific Java code compiled as a single Java package. They will not function in Isight unless they are published under a path equal to the package name.
