Use Copy Object to:

• Create an associative or nonassociative copy of surface geometry from one part to another in an assembly.

  For example, you can copy mating surfaces of a source part in an assembly to a target part in the same assembly for to use as reference in the target part.

• Copy or move geometry within a part file to composites, base surfaces, or a group in the construction environment.

  For example, you can create a copy or move geometry between the construction environment and the part modeling environment.

Select	Select: Allows selection of one or more faces or bodies. Note: Switching between selection types (Face and Body) clears the selections set. Face: Allows selection of individual faces of a quilt or solid body. Body: Allows selection of an entire quilt or solid body.
Output	Create New: Select one of the following options to copy or move composites, surfaces, or solids. The selection (Face or Body) determines the available Output options. Group: Copies/moves the selection set to a new Group in the construction environment. Surface: Copies/moves the selection set to one or more base surface features in the Part Modeling environment. Creates one feature for each set of contiguous faces selected. Composite: Copies/moves the selection set to a single composite feature in the Part Modeling environment. Solid: Copies/moves the selection set to a single solid body in the Part Modeling environment. Multiple Solids: Copies/moves the selection set to multiple solid bodies in the Part Modeling environment. Select Existing: Allows the selection of a target repair body, composite feature or group. When copying objects across parts, this option allows: Associative objects to be added to associative composites. Nonassociative data to be added to non-associative composites. Associative: When creating a feature, you can establish a relationship between the copied geometry created in the target part and the source part. This relationship is represented by the Adaptive browser icon preceding the feature browser entry of the created feature. This relationship can be broken using the Break Link context menu option. Rules: Only available when editing a part within an assembly file. Not available for Solid Output option. Delete Original: Deletes the geometry in the original location (Moves the selected geometry to the specified location). Not available when selecting geometry from a different part. Note: The Delete Original command does not delete Parametric geometry.
Apply	Completes the specified action without closing the dialog.
OK	Completes the specified action and closes the dialog box when selections are complete.
