415 — Batch utilities

Doing one thing to many panels at once — and knowing how many before you do.

Note

This lesson also exists in the browser. Work it in ConstructiVision on the web — same steps, same values, so you can follow either and end up with the same panel.

Where it is

Utilities → Batch Utilities.

It tells you the scope in plain words

Before anything else, read the line at the top:

Applies to 1 panel: 001

Scope decides which panels are affected, and the dialog names them. Not “3 selected” — the actual marks. That is the difference between a batch operation you can check and one you have to trust.

This is the fourth dialog in the library that reports a number before you act, after site placements, the engineering applied count and the partial panel book. It is a habit of the product worth recognising: when it shows you a count, that is the check.

What it can do in bulk

Duplicate ×	make N copies of the panels in scope
Lift firm · Description · By	stamp engineering and revision details across them

Duplicate is the one to be careful with, because scope multiplies: duplicating a scope of twelve by three is thirty-six panels, and the materials list will total every one of them.

Read the scope line twice

The whole risk of a batch tool is doing the right operation to the wrong set. The scope line exists so you never have to guess which — so read it, then act.

What to take away

Set the scope, read the line that names what it caught, then run the operation. The count is not decoration; it is the only thing standing between “duplicate these three” and “duplicate all sixty”.
