Performing Quick Gets on Objects

Quick Gets enable you to perform Gets on objects returned to the OMW Project Search and Select by Object form, and the Object Librarian Search and Select form. From these forms, you can select one or many objects to Get.

Note: When you Get an object you copy the object and its specifications to your work area without checking out the object.
