surfaces copy

GB,

I just tested this on Pro-E WF 3.0. To copy from one part file to another part file, insert both parts into an assembly file. Copy the surfaces (ctrl-C) from the source part file (1st part), than activate (RMB) the target part file (2nd part) and paste (ctrl-v) the surfaces into the second part file. This proceedure is for Pro-E users that do not have AAX (Advanced Assembly Extension) module.

I do not remember if there is another way to copy the surfaces to second part without using an intermediary assembly.

Hi,

I was looking different manners to copy a surface from a part to an other one.

With ctrl-C + ctrl-V method, I just can copy a curve from 1st to 2nd part.
When I select a surface, ProE tell me it's not possible.

I'm shure I do this a long time ago.
Is there an option to change ?

There is a tutorial from e-cognition that show difference between Ctrl-C and copy geom method so it should be possible.

Thanks,
GB

I have a special config file I call merge.pro for times when Pro/E says I can't have an external reference. Here are the contents:

allow_ref_scope_change YES
default_ext_ref_scope ALL
default_object_scope_setting ALL
default_object_invalid_refs COPY
ignore_all_ref_scope_settings YES
model_allow_ref_scope_change YES
scope_invalid_refs COPY
