In Autodesk Vault Basic, Copy Design copies an entire Inventor assembly structure, including all related 2D drawings and 3D models, to derive a new design. Copy Design preserves the relationships and can eliminate hours of rework. For example, an existing part and the related drawing file are copied and assigned new names. The new part and drawing are fully associative to each other. The dimensions and view layout from the original source document is preserved in the new drawing.
In the Copy Design dialog box, you can choose which parts of an existing design to copy, reuse, exclude, or replace. You can define a naming scheme for the files you copy to the new design. Alternatively, you can choose to add a prefix and a suffix to the file names automatically. If the original file names end in an integer, you can choose to automatically increment the names. You can rename presentation files and drawing files to match the names of their direct part or assembly source.
