Format Painter

Status: Duplicate

It would be great to have a feature similar to the Microsoft 'Format Painter'.

 

Sometimes in a project you need to change an amount of indicators from one data type to another (U8 to U16 for example) or, you want to change the number of digits of precision, string indicators from Normal to Hex etc, etc.

 

A Format Painter would be great, highlight the format tool, click on the master object and then click all of the controls/indicators that have to be the same. The painter could work on front panel objects or block diagram terminals.

At this rate I will have spawned more duplicates than I received Kudos for the "original" suggestion.  I also managed to show off my crystal ball by "duplicating" an idea which came two months later.  🙂

 

Still like the concept...
