Duplicating Blocks

Another way you can add similar blocks to the database is by duplicating them. Like the Generate Wizard, you can duplicate multiple blocks. However, you cannot customize specific block fields; you can only specify a new name for the duplicated blocks. As a result, the new blocks are identical to the original ones.

For example, suppose you have an Analog Input block monitoring the speed of a pump and want to monitor five other pumps in a similar way. By duplicating the block, you can reproduce it and create the additional blocks you need.
