Clone Part

The Clone Part macro enables you to quickly create a new part from the properties of an existing part.

Select the existing part on which to model the new part by clicking the … button, which opens a dialog listing all the existing components. Select a component from the list and click OK.

Type a name for the new part in the New Part field and click the color icon to select a color for the component.

Select whether to duplicate the material and section properties or to re-use the original material and section properties. Duplicate means that a new material and section is created (the name is suffixed with .n version numbers and new IDs are used) with the same properties, while Reuse refers to the same material and section as the original.

Select whether to duplicate the elements. Duplicate elements will make a copy of the elements from the selected part to new part in the same location.

Click Create to either create or create and edit the card.
