Copying Features
With Instant3D, you can copy features from one face to another on the
same model. You can also copy features from model to model.
To copy a feature:
Click Instant3D on the Features
toolbar.
In the FeatureManager design tree, select the
feature to copy.
Hold down Ctrl
and drag the feature to a location on the same face or a different face.
If the feature includes locating dimensions
or relations, a dialog box is displayed. You can Delete
the relations or dimensions, Dangle
them, or Cancel copy.
If you select Dangle,
a warning appears. Select Close
to ignore the error.
To re-attach dangling dimensions:
In the FeatureManager design tree, right-click
the sketch and select Edit Sketch.
-
Click the dangling dimension and drag the red handle to a new attachment
point. As you drag, the pointer is displayed until you
are on an edge or a vertex that is suitable to re-attach the dimension.
