I have a completed project that is very similar to a new one I want to create. Copying it would save time. How do I go about that?
File/Save As and File/Save Copy of .. As both want to create an object for deployment. I want a copy of the entire project that I can edit a couple of pieces of.

If you have OS access, you can copy and paste the solution folder in Windows Explorer. If you do so, you may need to update component GUIDs in the copy, and you'll want to make sure that you double-check data destinations so that you don't accidentally update an unexpected table.
Not that the latter happened to me when I first cloned a project this way or anything

I didn't understand what you meant at first with the GUIDs. I started a second instance of BIDS and was able to copy/paste the objects, including Connection Managers, to a new solution.
Then I started editing the objects in the new solution and now I understand. The copied objects contain the GUID of the original property. I just edit and enter the new property by name.
Thanks.
