Duplicating alternates

You can also duplicate alternates from the Wireframe menu or from the context menu in the Navigator panel. Doing this will create a new, randomly named alternate that is an exact copy of the alternate you chose to duplicate.

Sometimes, however, an alternate grows into a wireframe all its own. If you would like to create a whole new wireframe based on an alternate, you can choose the "Duplicate As New Wireframe" option.

The new wireframe will be named using the Name of the Alternate and then the Name of the Original Wireframe. So if you had an alternate named "Rotated Header", in your "Homepage" wireframe, the wireframe created from the alternate would be named "Rotated Header Homepage".
