Important: The procedure to create a link container vs. an unlinked duplicate depends on whether the Link named objects as default checkbox in the CimEdit Global Configuration dialog box is clear or checked.

  1. Select the source object.

  2. Hold down Ctrl+Shift keys while you drag the object to another screen.
