Breaking the link of a study object
Breaking the link of a study object creates a new study object in the place of the original study object.
- The new study object is identical to the original, except it has a new study object identifier.
- The original study object remains in the study, but the link to it is removed from the study object tree in the Project Explorer.
You must choose whether to break the links of child study objects. Child study objects for which links are not broken become the children of the new study object and are no longer the children of the original study object.
Note: You can break links for study objects that are links only. You cannot break the links of study objects that are instances. For more information, see Instances and links.
To break the link of a study object:
- In the Project Explorer, right-click a study object and point to Break link, and select one of the following options:
With new children:
- The original study object is removed from the study object tree in the Project Explorer (but not the study), and an identical study object (with a new identifier) is created in its place.
- If the original study object has child study objects, the child study objects are also removed from the study object tree in the Project Explorer, and identical study objects (with new identifiers) are created in their places. The new child study objects are children of the new study object, and the original children are no longer associated with the original parent study object.
With links to children:
- The original study object is removed from the study object tree in the Project Explorer (but not the study), and an identical study object (with a new identifier) is created in its place.
- If the original study object has child study objects, the child study objects are not changed. However, they are no longer associated with the original study object. Instead, they become the children of the new study object.
