Copying line blocks or block versions

You can copy line blocks to a different or a new block version. You can also copy an entire block version.

Note: When copying line blocks, all block items are also copied.

1. Open the Line block editor. Then, In the navigator, right-click a block version or a vehicle combination whose line blocks you want to copy entirely or in parts (Opening the Line block editor).

Tip: You can also copy individual line blocks. To do so, in the Line block editor window, right-click a block.

The context menu opens.

2. In the context menu, select the Copy line block entry or the Copy line blocks entry.

The Copy line blocks window opens.

3. Make the desired changes.

Element	Description
From version (source)	Number and name of the block version of the selected line blocks
Line blocking time interval	Line blocking time interval of the block version of the selected line blocks
Copy blocks	List of all line blocks of the selected block version Here, you select all line blocks that you want to copy.
To version (target)	Use the drop-down list to select the block version in which you want to insert the selected line blocks. Note Select the New block version to create a new block version with the copied blocks. A new block version will be generated with the same data (apart from the ID) as the copied blocks. The new block version contains the copies of the line blocks with consecutively numbered IDs and the status information. If you copy line blocks to an existing block version, first, all block items are deleted from the copy of the line blocks which fall on a calendar day which is not contained in the line blocking time interval of the target block version. Furthermore, all block items are deleted whose vehicle journey section for the calendar day is already bound to a different line block of the target version. The new line block gets the status unchecked.
Line blocking time interval	Line blocking time interval of the block version in which the line blocks shall be inserted
Repeat block items throughout the entire target line blocking time interval	If this option is not selected, just the block items whose the calendar day lies within the line blocking time interval of the target block version will be copied. Thus, the copy serves the occurrences of vehicle journey sections which are in the target line blocking time interval and are served by the original line block. If this option is selected, copying means the following: Similar line block items (identical vehicle journey section, identical line block day) will additionally be generated for each calendar day, which satisfies either criterion: It differs from the original line block day by the length of the line blocking time interval of the original block version and the vehicle journey section is carried out on this day. Thus, the pattern of the original line block is propagated to the entire target line blocking time interval. Example: For an original block version with a line blocking time interval of one week this option will repeatedly copy the block items by week to the entire line blocking time interval of the target block version if the vehicle journey sections are carried out on these days.
Double vehicle journey line block items	Via the selection list you define how to handle two vehicle journey block items in the same time slot which might occur in a line block version as a result of copying. Delete outdated line block item The block item in the new line block will be used, the one in the copied line block will be deleted. Do not paste new block item The block item in the copied line block is retained. This line block item is not copied.

4. Confirm with OK.

The selected line blocks are copied.
