Copying features

Windows Ctrl C and Ctrl V will generally work for copy/paste.

You can use the Copy, Paste, and Paste Special commands to duplicate and place features, geometry, curves, and edge chains. Using this functionality, you can copy and paste features within the same model or between two different models.

By preselecting edges you can create a copy as a datum curve either as an exact copy or an approximate copy – this will approximate a chain of tangent curves as a single continuous curvature spline curve.

Two methods for Pasting solid features:

When you use Edit > Paste, the system opens the feature creation tool, so you can redefine the copied feature.

When you use Edit > Paste Special, the system allows you to replace the original references with the new ones

 

Copying Surfaces

To select solid surface:

  • pick the solid
  • pick the surface on the solid
  • Ctrl C then Ctrl V
  • a copy surface features is created
  • you can Ctrl select other surfaces to add to this feature
