   Options	Description
   Use original source mappings	Select this option if the copied model should have the same source mappings as the source model, this way both the source tables and copied tables have source mappings to the same tables. Leave the option un-selected if the copied model should create source mappings on the copied table to point to the original tables.
   Import hidden objects	This option enables hidden objects to be imported with the copied model and later on manipulated. To manipulate hidden columns, right click on any diagram Columns, select  Column  and then  Manage hidden columns. To manipulate a table, right click anywhere around the diagram tables, select  Tables  and then  Manage hidden tables.
   Apply model conversion	This option enables you to apply an existing model conversion to the copied model. If this option selected, the  Apply mode conversion  window shown below is displayed. This enables you to select a model conversion to use and set additional settings. For more details on applying a model conversion, refer to  Applying a Model Conversion  .
