Copying and Pasting Objects

To copy objects and paste them in the same design or another design, use the Edit > Copy and Edit > Paste commands. For data link purposes, where you want to include the material assignments as well as the geometry, you can use the Import from Clipboard command.

  1. Select the objects you want to copy.
  2. Click Edit > Copy .
  3. The objects are copied to the Clipboard, a temporary storage area. The selected items are not deleted.

  4. Select the design into which you want to paste the objects. It can be the same design from which you copied the items.
  5. Click in the Modeler window.
  6. Select the working coordinate system. Objects are pasted relative to the current working coordinate system.
  7. Click Edit > Paste .

The objects appear in the targeted Modeler window and in the new history tree. The pasted objects become the current active selection. If you undo the paste, the active selection goes back to the previous selection. If you redo, the pasted objects become the current active selection.

Items on the Clipboard can be pasted repeatedly. The items currently stored on the Clipboard are replaced by the next items that are cut or copied.
