Note The button becomes available after you enter the product model number. If you click Copy from product model, the Copy from product model form opens, and you can select the model that already exists to copy. Select the one to copy. Click OK to return to the Product model page. If you decide to create the new product model from an existing one, do not create a new product model. Instead, copy an existing product model, and change it by using the wizard. |
Modeling variables |
Note You cannot use special characters, such as asterisks (*), ampersands (&), spaces, or quotation marks (") in variable names. Whenever you enter a variable name here, the system verifies whether there are unauthorized characters. If there are unauthorized characters, a message is displayed. Also, if you try to begin a variable name by using a number, a syntax error occurs when a product model that contains such a variable is compiled.
