surfaces copy

[gbon]

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 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.

You can use INSERT, SHARED GEOMETRY, COPY GEOMETRY....

You can deselect the PUBLISH FEATURE icon to just select the surfaces you need.

I believe you need AAX for this to work.

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

Semi-educated guess...

Instead of trying to paste a selected quilt into a different model, have you tried to Ctrl-C > Ctrl-V in the same model to create a Copy Feature and then copy the FEATURE from "model 1" to "model 2"?

Haven't tried it today, but seem to remember something similar in the past...
