Copy Information

In many transformations there is a substantial amount of information to be copied.

It would be tedious to type all of the common information into a template so that it is copied to the transformed Class; the alternative is to use the TRANSFORM_CURRENT and TRANSFORM_TAGS function macros.

Use of Macros

Objective	Detail	See also
Copy Object	TRANSFORM_CURRENT (<listOfExcludedItems>) The function generates an exact copy of all the properties of the current item, except for the items named in <listOfExcludedItems>.	Objects
Copy Connector	Another form of the function is available when transforming connectors to copy either end of the connector: TRANSFORM_CURRENT (<connectorEnd>, <listOfExcludedItems>) This generates an exact copy of the connector end specified by <connectorEnd> (either Source or Target) except for the items named in <listOfExcludedItems>.	Connectors
Copy Tags	TRANSFORM_TAGS (<listOfExcludedItems>) The function generates an exact copy of all the Tagged Values of the current item, except for the items named in <listOfExcludedItems>.

Copy Connector

Another form of the function is available when transforming connectors to copy either end of the connector:

TRANSFORM_CURRENT (<connectorEnd>, <listOfExcludedItems>)

This generates an exact copy of the connector end specified by <connectorEnd> (either Source or Target) except for the items named in <listOfExcludedItems>.

Copy Tags

TRANSFORM_TAGS (<listOfExcludedItems>)

The function generates an exact copy of all the Tagged Values of the current item, except for the items named in <listOfExcludedItems>.
