Copying and pasting an assembly

You can create a copy of any assembly and paste it elsewhere in the Project Tree.

To copy and paste an assembly:

  1. In the Project panel, right-click the root Assembly or the assembly in the Project Tree that you want to duplicate, and then select Copy in the context menu. The assembly is copied to the ArtCAM clipboard.
    Note: When you copy an assembly, any associated assemblies and meshes are also copied. The icon beside the assembly name indicates an assembly has associated assemblies.
  2. In the Project Tree, right-click the assembly below which you want to associate the assembly on the ArtCAM clipboard, and then select Paste in the context menu. A duplicate copy of the assembly and all of its associated items is pasted below the selected assembly.

    Each time you paste an assembly from the ArtCAM clipboard, the resulting copy is given the name of the original assembly and is numbered sequentially.

    Note: To distinguish the copy from the original, right-click the duplicate assembly, select Rename in the context menu, and enter a new name for it.
Note: The availability of this feature is license dependent.
