surface copy

Select the surface / quilt (not the feature), Edit, Copy Edit, Paste (or ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

Look at your start up browser. There are (I think?) links to a menu mapper and WF selection techniques tutorial.

thanks, but I can't copy the whole volume of a part as it was possible with copy / solid surface.

I was speaking about the menu mapper when I said that they just say "copy and paste" but I can't do this with a whole solid part.

Oops, sorry. Select a solid face, rmb, ....

(Never having used pre-WF, if I'm missing the issue someone please correct me.)

I think most of this is a technical problem of selection with WF. When you get the initial pre-highlight it should be of some big solid protrusion. When you click on it and it turns red, all you need to do is move the cursor a little and a surface of the solid will prehighlight. Click select that and it should turn a mauvish color. Then, RMB 'Solid Surfaces' and you have all the external surfaces of the solid selected. Now do ^C/^V and you'll get your whole part surface copy. To prove it to yourself, while the copied surface is still highlighted, do 'Edit>Offset'. Pro/e will more than likely try to offset in the wrong direction and give you no preview geometry. Just hit the reverse arrow and you should see your copied surface offset the given amount.

You may have to go into Tools - Assembly Settings - Reference control - geometry and set 'all' and 'all' if you are copying geometry between models.
