If this option is used,
only the
geometry is copied, not the specifications. Pasted
bodies reflect the changes to the initial bodies.
This command is mostly
used in a multi-model environment. |
|
If this option is
used, bodies are pasted as well as
their design specifications. The capability is the same as the commonly
used Copy and Paste command
|
Rectangular

Creates several identical features
from one feature or more or even from bodies, and simultaneously positions
them on an part.
You position instances with respect to a rectangular or circular grid,
or using sketched points. |
Circular Pattern
User
Pattern
|
PowerCopy |
Creates a set of
features (geometric elements, formulas, constraints and so on) that are
grouped in order to be used in a different context. You can completely
redefine these entities when you paste them.
As it captures the design intent and know-how of the designer, it enables
greater reusability and efficiency.We recommend you to use this command for bodies, features, sketches and
design tables that require new specifications.
To benefit from the best level of performance in the long term, use this capability to
enrich your feature catalogs.
