If 50 copies are inserted, then you want to make a change to all 50, you just go into the original and make the change once. Then that change propagates to all 50 inserted copies.

However, the value for this is clear and I'd love to jump on a call / hear more about your thoughts &amp; use cases for this. I'll send you a quick DM, hopefully we can jump on a quick call.&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Best regards,</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Melisa&nbsp;</P> Mon, 03 Feb 2025 14:23:41 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/can-i-insert-an-electronic-design-into-a-another-design-and-keep/m-p/13296897#M699 melisa.kaner 2025-02-03T14:23:41Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/can-i-insert-an-electronic-design-into-a-another-design-and-keep/m-p/13296997#M700 Hello, Melissa!<BR /><BR />My email address is:<BR /><BR />Chris.cummings@dyzinetek.com<BR /><BR />Any time next week would be great.<BR /><BR />Thanks!<BR /> Mon, 03 Feb 2025 15:03:39 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/can-i-insert-an-electronic-design-into-a-another-design-and-keep/m-p/13296997#M700 chris_cummingsDT 2025-02-03T15:03:39Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-electronics-forum/can-i-insert-an-electronic-design-into-a-another-design-and-keep/m-p/13297557#M701 <P>Hi&nbsp;<a href="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/13563773">@chris_cummingsDT</a>&nbsp;, great!
