Copying cast members

You can easily create multiple versions of a cast member in a single cast. For example, you may want several cast members to be identical except for color or size. You can also copy cast members from one Cast window to another.

To copy a cast member:

1 | In either List or Thumbnail view, select the cast member (or multiple cast members) that you want to copy.
2 | Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) and drag the cast member to a new location in Thumbnail view or to the bottom of the list in List view.
| You can drag the cast member to a location in the same Cast window or to a different Cast window. Director creates a cast member with a new number but with all other information identical to the original.
3 | If you copied the cast member into the same Cast window, change the name of the copied cast member so that you (and Lingo scripts) can distinguish it from the original. See Naming cast members.
