Cutting, Copying and Pasting

The steps below describe how to cut and paste or how to copy and paste Part Design features. 

We recommend you to use these commands when you do not need to re-specify the features you paste or if you do so, these features should not require too many specifications. Basically, you should use these commands for simple features.

1.   Select the object you want to cut or copy.
  2.  To cut, you can either:
click the Cut icon
select the Edit->Cut command
select the Cut command in the contextual menu, or
in the geometry area or the specification tree, drag the selection (although not a graphical cut, this is equivalent to the cut operation).

This places what you cut in the clipboard.

  To copy, you can either:
click the Copy icon
select the Edit->Copy command
select the Copy command in the contextual menu or
in the geometry area or the specification tree, press and hold down the Ctrl key and drag the selection.

This places what you cut in the clipboard.

3. 

 

To paste, you can either:
click the Paste icon
select the Edit->Paste command
select the Paste command in the contextual menu, or
in the geometry area or the specification tree, drop what you are dragging (see above).
Dragging and dropping objects (features or bodies) onto objects (features or bodies) is a quick way to copy objects too. Note however, that the option Enable Drag-Drop must be on to use the capability.
In the example below, the second body is a copy of  Part Body. The user just modified the profile.
