Question

Copy multiple 2D from one workplane to another?

I know that I can use the Project 2D Edge command to copy from one workplane to another. But as far as I can tell, I have to select each element individually. I have tried box selecting elements, but I have not been able to get it to work. Is there a way to quickly select multiple 2D elements to copy from one workplane to another? (I have a workplane with over 50 elements that I need to copy.) I should also note that I know how to copy an entire workplane, but in my case my workplane already contains a lot of 2D geometry-I copied one workplane to get most of the geometry, now I need to copy from another workplane to get the rest.

Hello Peter,

my suggestion would be to save the source workplan as .mi.
Activate target workplane.
Load stored workplane.
Just make sure that the origin (0.0 point) matches.
