Attributes

If From channel box is turned on then only attributes currently highlighted in the Channel Box are transferred.

Values

If this option is on then attribute values are duplicated from the source container to the target container. If it is off, then these values are referenced.

In connections

If this option is on, incoming connections from other external nodes are transferred from the source container to the target container using either Share with source or Transfer from source.

Share with source

Maya creates new incoming connections from the external node to the target container. Thus, changing the external node affects both the source container and the target container.

Transfer from source

Maya deletes the incoming connections to the source container and creates new connections to the target container. Thus, changing the external node affects only the target container.

Out connections

If this option is on, then all outgoing connections to other nodes are moved from the source container to the target container.

Relationships

If Transfer parent/child relationships is on and the source and target objects are containers that have identically named published parent or child anchors, then the parent/child relationship is transferred from the source container to the target container.

Rename

If Rename target container is on, then the target container is renamed with the source container’s name. The source container is renamed with an -Orig suffix.
