How to copy a component to another with its history?

Hi,
We are using RTC 3.0, and want to make a new branch(stream 2) from stream 1. We want to copy component 1 to component 2 with history, component 2 is a new component.
How to do that??

stream 1
-- component 1
stream 2
-- component 2

Hi,

why can't you just reuse the component on the new stream? That is how it is meant to be used as far as I know.

The new stream actually collects the changes done to the files in the component. you would be able to compare with the component in the other stream, have independent baselines. The same component in the other stream can also start from a specific baseline etc.

Thank you!
I think you are correct, I will use the same component with independent baseline for each branch.
I wonder if there has a article introduces the mechanism of baseline? I always find out that baseline is created by itself with such name "backup after replace..." and "backup after drop..." and so on, I am puzzle about this.
I also can not remove the baseline, or rename the baseline, puzzling...

You can rename baselines by opening their properties and putting in another name. some baselines are automatically created, but typically you would create them. Why would you want to delete baselines? Something could reference them and it would just cause issues if you deleted them.

There are several articles in the library about RTC SCM. Typically not only about baselines but more complex questions such as stream/integration strategies. There are also several blogs I have seen talking about different aspects.
