Description

The CarbonCopy tool copies all the geometry and constraints from another sketch into the active sketch. Dimensional constraints remain linked to the original sketch's dimensional constraints through expressions.


How to use

  1. Press the CarbonCopy button.
  2. Click on an edge from the other sketch.
  3. Geometry elements as well as constraints are copied into the sketch.
  4. If the sketch to be copied is not on a parallel plane to the active sketch, the mouse pointer will turn into an interdict sign. Press ALT + CTRL to allow selection of a non-parallel sketch.
  5. Press ESC or press the right mouse button to terminate the function.

Limitations

  • All the content of the sketch is copied; it is not possible to select only a portion of it.
