![]() Answer: Tony: Nice script, I can make good use of it. Works great for smaller modules, but on my SRD (approx 7700 objects) DOORS runs out of memory :-( Pekka: I also thought of that, and going forward, that may be my plan. I as hoping for a way to use CTRL-G (goto object) with the absolute numbers, and that won't work with the copied attribute. | |

I am using DOORS 6.0 SR1.
When I use File -> Baseline -> Copy, a copy of the baseline is made in a new module, with new absolute numbers 1,2,3,4.... Is there a way to make a copy of the baseline with the real absolute numbers? For now, I am exporting them to a csv file, then importing into the copy as a separate text attribute. |

Maybe there is no direct way to achieve what you want. BTW, how are you using those baseline copies then, if you want them to preserve same identifiers?
One round trip way of getting the data within DOORS: - in your modules to be baselined create a new integer type attribute - before baselining use the Tools/Functions/Copy attributes to copy the Absolute Number values to this attribute Then when you copy this baseline to a new module, your original Absolute Numbers are stored in the new integer attribute. ------------------------- Pekka.Makinen@softqa.fi SoftQA Oy -http://www.softqa.fi/ |

What an interesting challenge!
The attached is a first stab at a script to copy a module from within the module itself (which may be a baseline). It uses the systen clipboard to copy the module, so behaves in exactly the same way as the copy and paste when used from explorer. The script is basic, but does the job. ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com |

I think the script needs a little bit more testing

Ron: I agree. It is only a quick hach to solve an immediate problem.
Al: My recommended way of doing this requires more DXL. Create a new module. Find the highest absolute number in the baseline. Create this many objects in a new empty module. Then you have to: rearrange the objects in the new module to match the baseline. Soft delete the unwanted objects. Copy across all the attribute values etc etc ------------------------- Tony Goodman http://www.smartdxl.com |

Alternate solutions could be:
a. Make an archive of the module as part of the process of baselining. Then the archived could be restored at a later time with a new name and would be a copy of the baseline. b. Make a copy of the module as part of the process of baselining. Then the copy would be a copy of the baseline. |
