By default, when you select any node or item in a list, the object's reference name is copied to the clipboard. The clipboard is used to paste object data into Visio or MSEA graphic objects to "bind" them to the graphic. There are some cases where you may not want the entire object reference copied.
Clipboard Filters
Select the appropriate clipboard filters from the dropdown list and enable the filter button. This will have a different effect based on your filter selection:
.<<object>>
This will paste
.object name to the clipboard. This is the standard aliasing format for
Advanced graphics. For example: adx:adx/system1.object1 would be
pasted as .object1
*.<<object>>
This will work
the same as above except the * will be added. This is the standard format
for standard graphics.
{{sys1}}.<<object>>
This is a
special aliasing format used only with SVG aliasing (a Streamside Solutions
aliasing option). For example: adx:adx/system1.object1 would be
pasted as {{sys1}}.object1
<<system>>
This will paste
the parent object reference of the selected object. For example:
adx:adx/system1.object1 would be pasted as adx:adx/system1.
Auto Append Object
This feature allows you to automatically append a specific text string to the end of a selected object reference. If you wanted to bind ZN-T for a series of VAV controllers without having to open each controller node and selecting ZN-T object, you can enable Auto Object and fill in the field with .ZN-T. Selecting the controller will automatically append the object name to the controller reference for faster binding. If the final object reference doesn't exist, you will hear a beep and see an error message on the status bar indicating an invalid point.
