Surfacing toolpath copy

Hi,

I'm trying to copy a surfacing toolpath using the "copy" and "paste special" function but I'm ending up having to redefine every reference to EVERY entity on my model. Does anyone know how I can copy the tool path with maybe only having to redefine the walls, floor and corner radii references? This would be a big help.

Thanks

You can do more than you would guess with the process manager such as proper copy paste and (my favorite) choosing intent surfaces when exluding surfaces for finishing. The trick is to remember to click create mfg features for all steps.

Process manager is my prefered method of copying sequences of all types as well as making them into templates for future use in other manufacutring jobs. Really quite a powerful tool.
