INHERIT (Inh)

Type: Interactive Application

Inherit allows entity properties to be copied from on existing entity to another existing entity. An existing or source entity is identified then its properties may be copied to existing or target entities by identifying them. Line, symbols and text are supported. Parameter settings allow the definition of the properties to transfer not all properties have to be copied. When a target entity is identified properties are copied without verification. If a mistake is made, undo can be used to reestablish the entity to its previous state.
