Note that you can duplicate existing views. Choose the views, right and click - duplicate views.

It looks like people didn't see Erel's comment above.

@Erel
I have been doing just that and it works.. the only thing I can say is that when I paste the copied views to another
parent then the views' Left and Top properties are all 0 (zero).. All are stuffed in the top left corner.. so I had to drag them
one by one to new locations.. this means designing the layout again.

Is it possible that the coordinates of the views are stored in a temporary table with two fields, then placed one by one according to
that table and then delete the table?

Duplicating a view is only possible in a same layout file.
But, how I understand the request in this thresd, is to copy a view from one screen to another one which is currently not possible.

@Beja
If you have views on a panel, and duplicate the panel the children are duplicated as well and in the same places.

To get them into a new layout, you could do a save as, then remove any views you don't want.

K thanks. I guess I must have copied/paste to/from different layout scales cause it was all messed up. Maybe you can pop a msg to "autoscale" the pasted views?
