Hello Ling

The best and easiest way to do this is to put the entire project into a page module and use copy transfer, this will bring everything over to a new case.

Hi George,

I just tried it. I found each project has multiple / level models defined inside. What should I do with the sub-models? Thank you!

Copy transfer brings everything over, all the levels and their definitions.

I tried to copy transfer a module in one project to another.,

PSCAD says, " A module component cannot be instantiated in a case project if its definition resides in another case project. This action is allowed only if the definition resides in a library project。“

And when I select a single components, I saw the Copy Transfer option by right clicking mouse. But when I select the whole circuit, I am not seeing the Copy Transfer option anymore. Please suggest.

Thank you!

I just wonder is there any specific components or modules that won't allow you to Copy and Transfer? Or I have to Copy and Transfer one by one, not multiple components each time? Thank you!

Create an empty page module on your main page, move everything on your main page into the empty page module. Right click on your page module and select copy transfer. Go to your other project and and right click on the canvas and select paste transfer.

Hi George,

I tried as you have suggested. Most of the components or modules can be Copy and Transferred successfully except one.

Here is the error message:

"A module component cannot be instantiated in a case project if its definition resides in another case project. The action is allowed only if the definition resides in a library project."

What i found is this particular module has a sub-module defined inside, and a sub-sub module defined inside the sub-module. Does this cause the problem? Any suggestion on how can i copy the modules that has multiple layers/levels?

Thank you!

Best,
Ling
