Copy a View of a Mining Model
The Mining Model Viewer tab of Data Mining Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) uses a separate viewer for each type of mining model. Several of the viewers have components from which you can copy the contents to the Clipboard, and from there paste the contents into a document or into image manipulation software. The following components make this functionality available:
Cluster Diagram in the Microsoft Cluster Viewer and the Microsoft Sequence Cluster Viewer
Decision Tree in the Microsoft Tree Viewer and the Microsoft Time Series Viewer
State Transitions in the Microsoft Sequence Cluster Viewer
Dependency Network in the Microsoft Association Rules Viewer, the Microsoft Naive Bayes Viewer, and the Microsoft Tree Viewer
Mining model content, from the Node Details pane of the Microsoft Generic Content Tree Viewer
You can copy the complete representation of the mining model, or just the part that is visible in the viewer.
Warning
When you copy a model using the viewer, it does not create a new model object. To create a new model, you must use either the wizard, or the Data Mining Designer,. For more information, see Make a Copy of a Mining Model.
