Objective: In this video and/or step by step walkthrough, you’ll learn how to edit or copy a line item inside of your assembly from the assembly manager
Edit Line Items inside of an Assembly
In the Assembly Manager click to highlight or select the Assembly you would like to look at
For this example we selected 8′ Interior Partition and on the right hand side you will see all of the Assembly Line Items included in this particular Assembly
For this example we are editing the 4′ x 8′ Gypsum Board
Click on the Name of the item and the Edit Item window will open
Note: If you change the item here it will also change anywhere else the same item is being used in a different assembly
Edit the Item
For this example we are going to edit the Description of this item from 4′ x 8′ to 4′ x 10′ Gypsum Board
We will also change the Per to reflect the new dimensions
Once you have made all of your changes, click the Save Item button
When you return to the Assembly Manager, you will see your changes are reflected in the Assembly Line Items list
Copy a Line Item
Select the check box by the item you would like to copy
Then click the Copy button
Copy Item Window
The Copy Item window will pop open
If you try to copy the item without making changes you will receive a warning message because you are not allowed to have two of the same items that are calculating the exact same way
For this example we will change the Description to 4′ x 8′ and the Per to 32
Click Copy Item
When you return to your Assembly Manager window, you will see the copied item in your Assembly Line Items list
