I may be mistaken but I don't even know how this is possible with the
current way content centre works. It does not distinguish between different
content centre libraries - it kind of melds them into one. IMO, I think it
would make much more sense to allow us to actually pick from what library we
are pulling a part from. Example: Once we copy a family of Channels to
another library, it would be great if we were able to choose which library
we were pulling those channels from. This is not allowed.
If we wanted one family to be mild steel and one family to be HSLA steel, I
believe you have to go into every single line and make a new entry. I don't
think you can copy the same family over again.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks,

Hi,
To be able to copy a family you need to have editor permissions and a
read-write library configured.
Once you have these invoke the 'Content Center Editor' command from the
tools menu.
RMB on an family and select the copy to command, and copy it to your r/w
library.
I have attached a screenshot for your reference. Please let me know if this
helped.
Thanks,
Arun

Contrary to some of the other posts her
e - I love the new stuff in Content
Center.
Does anyone know how to copy a family in Content Center? What I've done is
to edit a family of nuts and set them all to have my part numbers, my range
of sizes, and I specified material. What I would like to do now is copy the
family and just change the material. Any ideas?
I thought I would be clever and create a temporary library - copy my family
of nuts across - edit the material and rename the family, then copy it
back,
but this fails with an error about duplicate member id's - whatever that
means.
Any help much appreciated.
