Preserving relative position when copying objects from

[former_member226862]

Relative Positions settings get lost whenever I copy objects from one WEBI report into another.

For example - I have a report title cell. Horizontal and Vertical relative position for this cell is set to 0 from the 'Left of Report' and from the 'Top of Report'. Relative position is set to something else when I copied existing cell from one report tab to another (within the same WEBI document).

This is not an big issue when all I needed to copy and adjust once cell from one report tab to another. However recently I needed to copy 8 cells from one report to another from one report tab to 7 other report tabs. The only way how to restore the desired layout of the cells is to go into open each cell's/object's properties, click on layout, then changing relative position values, and selecting the proper object from the list. Relative object is not always the report, it could be another object, another cell. As far as I know I will need to open and readjust 4 fields for 8 objects in 7 report tabs, making 4 x 8 x 7 = 224 changes. Unless there is a way to preserve Relative Position parameters when report objects get copied from one location to another

So my question is - does anyone knows how to copy WEBI objects from one location to another location and preserve 'Relative Position' parameters?

Hi,

If you are coping report tabs then better you can go for replicate tab option.

you don't need to copy individual blocks or blank cells.

I am not duplicating report. I already have 8 reports in existing WEBI document. Requirement was to modify report headings for all of the reports within the document, I modified, moved around, re-arranged objects in one of the reports, now I need to do the same in seven remaining reports.
