## Copying plots on first reference

VisIt's predecessor, MeshTV, copies plots to a new vis window when you set the active window if the new active window has never been accessed. Several VisIt users expressed a desire to have this functionality in VisIt so VisIt now has a Clone windows on first reference option in the Preferences Window that clones all attributes of the active window to a new window when you set the active window to a window that has never been referenced. If you don't want plots, etc to be copied to a vis window that you have not yet accessed when you make it the active vis window, be sure to turn off the Clone windows on first reference check box in the Preferences window before setting the active window.
