Duplicating  Generative Geometry

This task will show you how to duplicate a generative view sub-element in order to modify a generated view sub-part independently from the part linked to the drawing.

 

Open the GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document.

 

1. Double-click on the view you want to modify to activate it.
The view is automatically highlighted.

2. Select the elements you want to modify and right-click on this selection.

3. Choose the Duplicate Geometry function  in the contextual menu.



The selected geometry is duplicated on the view at the same position. It is highlighted after creation, click on the drawing to de-select it.

The resulting geometry is backward the generative one. To bypass this problem  you can hide the corresponding generative geometry.
