Variable-name conflicts might exist if you are attempting to insert or paste objects from another project or a library object that might contain several associated variables. If conflicts are encountered, you will be prompted whether to automatically create new variables before adding them to the project, automatically use the existing variables, or view the conflicting names and individually specify the new variable names.
To automatically create new variables before adding them to the project, select Rename the variables before adding them to the project. The new variables are automatically named with an incremental counter appended to their name.
To use the variables that already exist in the project, select Use the existing variables already in the project. Enable Don't ask me again for this session if you would like the existing variables be used for subsequent conflicts during this session.
To view the conflicting variable names and individually specify new variable names, select Let me choose the variables to create. To specify the new name of the variable, enable the corresponding Create New Variable check box and type the new name in the New Variable Name column.
Select OK when you are finished.
