Copy Surfaces in WF2?

Question

I work with alot of surfaces and quilts, many times generated from copied surfaces. My old method to create a quilt of surfaces was to highlight the surface and select the Copy Surface or Curve button or from the pull-down menu. In WF2 this seems to have changed since the only Copy option I see now is the Copy to Clipboard button.

Anyone know where Copy Surface or Curve is in WF2? Seems like every time I get comfortable with a new version they come out with a new one that moves everything around. ;-(

Thanks, Michael

You've seen it.  Ctrl +C, Ctrl +V (or edit / copy, paste, toolbuttons).  Whenyou paste the dashboard panel comes up as before.  (I, personally, think itsucks, but that's the way it goes.)  Oh, there's also a paste / special, but Ihaven't found a use for it yet.

But evenwhen I found the right one, half the time it would be grayed out and I couldn'tselect it. Many new functions depend on *first* selecting surfaces, say, and thenthey give you an appropriate functionality. So if you don't select the surfacesordon't select them in a way that Pro/e can apply a function to, you won't get thefunction. A lot depends on mastering the new selection business.David Janes:: > I work with alot of surfaces and quilts, many times generated from copied: > surfaces.

Yes.  Didn't think about that.  Thanks for pointing it out.  WF was my firstexposure to Pro/E so tend to overlook that aspect of the process.
