Copy Surfaces in WF2?

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

But even when I found the right one, half the time it would be grayed out and I couldn't select it. Many new functions depend on *first* selecting surfaces, say, and then they give you an appropriate functionality. So if you don't select the surfaces or don't select them in a way that Pro/e can apply a function to, you won't get the function. A lot depends on mastering the new selection business.

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