Like other GoldSim elements, you can copy, move and clone Pathways. The following points should be noted regarding how Pathways within fluxes are treated when they are moved, copied or cloned:
- When you copy a pathway, any outfluxes it has will be copied with it. Hence, if a flux exists from Cell1 to Cell2, and Cell1 is copied, the new Cell will also have a flux link to Cell2.
- When you copy a pathway, any influxes it has will not be copied with it. Hence, if a flux exists from Cell1 to Cell2, and Cell2 is copied, the new Cell will not have a flux link from Cell1.
- When you move a pathway it always retains all influxes and outfluxes.
- When you clone a pathway, all outfluxes are cloned with it; none of its influxes, however, are cloned.
- When you create a clone of a pathway, its outfluxes will link to the same pathway to which the original pathway was linked. If you wish to clone an entire system of pathways, you should place the system in a Container An element that acts like a "box" or a "folder" into which other elements can be placed. It can be used to create hierarchical models. and clone the Container.
