Copying properties of an element to a new element
« on: May 24, 2010, 07:18:43 pm »
Hello Folks,

I am in a dilemma. I would like to copy all the properties of an element. Something like cloning. But after seeing some old post I noticed that EA doesnt have any method to clone attributes, methods, elements . . . .but a tidous way to scan through the properties, taggevalues and keep copying them in the new element.

Hence is there a way to clone an attribute, method,element, package?
any shorter and simpler way to copy all its properties . . .

Do reply at the earliest.

Regards,
