Copying and pasting a 3D object

You can create a copy of any 3D object and paste it elsewhere in the Project Tree.

To copy and paste a mesh:

  1. In the Project panel, right-click the 3D object in the Project Tree you want to duplicate, and then select Copy in the context menu. A copy of the selected mesh is placed on the ArtCAM clipboard.
  2. In the Project Tree, right-click the root Assembly or assembly below which you want to associate the 3D object on the ArtCAM clipboard, and then select Paste from the context menu. A duplicate copy of the 3D object is pasted from the ArtCAM clipboard into the Project Tree.

    Each time you paste the 3D object from the ArtCAM clipboard, the copy created in the Project Tree adopts the name of the original.

    Note: To distinguish the copy from the original, right-click the duplicate mesh in the Project Tree, select Rename in the context menu, and enter a new name.
