You use the Save As Local Copy dialog box to save a copy of a model or development component (together with its contents) in the local repository with a new name.

You display the Save As Local Copy dialog box for a model by choosing   Model   Save As  . You display the Save As Local Copy dialog box for a development component by right-clicking the development component in the Manage task panel and choosing Save As from the context menu.
