Importing a Model from the Clipboard

You can import a model from the Clipboard in order to use a geometry from a different design. To use a geometry with datalink, the geometry ID must be preserved. The Import from Clipboard command preserves geometry IDs.

To import a model from the Clipboard, the model for the current design must be empty. If the design it not empty, existing geometry is deleted.

To import model geometry:

  1. Select the objects you want to copy. For selecting all objects, you can use Edit > Select All or Ctrl + A.
  1. Click Edit > Copy Copy > Edit icon.

    2. The objects are copied to the Clipboard, a temporary storage area. The selected items are not deleted from the source location.

  2. Select the design into which you want to paste the objects. It can be the same design from which you copied the items.
  3. Click in the 3D Modeler window.
  4. Select the working coordinate system. Objects are imported relative to the current working coordinate system.
  5. Click Modeler > Import From Clipboard.

The geometry model is pasted from the Clipboard with the ID preserved.
