Create a new cube based on the structure of an existing cube

If a cube exists with the structure and dimensionality that you want to use in a new cube, the Create from cube option provides a handy shortcut for cube creation.

1. Open a Modeling workbench.
2. In the Databases tree, locate the existing cube that you want to use as the basis for a new cube.
3. Right-click the existing cube, then click Create from cube.
4. Enter a new Cube name, then click Next. The dimensions from the existing cube are preselected and ordered as specified in the existing cube.
5. Optionally, you can select additional dimension to include in the new cube, remove preselected dimension, or change the order of dimensions for the new cube.
6. Click Create.
