This command allows to make a basic copy of one or several elements.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Select the Tools > Entity Copy... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Select the entities to copy in the graphic area or the Entities tree.

  2. Select the reference frame that will be used as origin during the pasting.

 

 

Element like parameters can be copied and pasted with this command, they must be selected from the Entities tree.

 

 

Additional information:

 

There is no link between pasted elements. For example, when a shape is generated by the extrusion of a sketch (the extruded shape depends on the sketch), you'll get a sketch and a shape not linked anymore.

The operations are not kept, the topology is copied/pasted only.

When a conflict is detected, the - Copy suffix is added to the element's name.

The copied elements can be pasted into the same document or into another document type (element of a Design document can be pasted into a machining document and vice-versa).

This command is not available in a Drafting or a BOM document.
