Make a copy of an object independent from its original

Hi,

I have an effort made container and I copied it to make some changes in the copied version.

I tried to copy the objects inside one by one and then rename them, but I was not able because there is not a 'General' tag in their properties to do so.

How can I make changes in the copied container or its objects (charts) whithout change the original container or objects?

Thanks

You could make a copy of the objects and place the copies in the container. Once they are added to the container you can delete the copies. You'll get a question asking if you want to delete only the selected objects or the linked objects too. Choose Only Selected Objects and you will have your original objects and independant objects in the container. You can then change the objects in the container without changing the originals.

For each object you want to unlink from the original, right click the object and select Linked Objects -> Unlink This Object. You will need to do this for the container object and and each object inside it.

If the "Linked Objects" menu item does not appear, then that object is already unlinked.
