Copy Command Copies selected objects and their associated relationships to the Clipboard. The Clipboard retains the format of the copied objects and converts them to other formats as required when you paste them using Paste.

When you copy more than one object at a time, the software copies all relationships shared among the objects. If there is an optional relationship between a selected object and an object that you did not select, the new objects maintain those relationships displayed in the Advanced Paste Options menu list. The Copy command also copies the current permission groups of the copied objects.

You can copy an object from one workspace and paste it into another. The workflow for the Copy command is the same. However, use Paste and Restore to paste into the other workspace.

Copying Route Objects

HVAC, Electrical, and Piping route objects require a parent object. Smart 3D creates a copy of the parent run when you copy an associated route feature. For example, if you copy a pipe feature, the software creates a copy of the parent pipe run along with all its properties. If you select pipe features that belong to multiple parents, the software creates a copy for each parent run.

  • The shortcut key for the Copy command is CTRL+C.

  • When copying graphical objects, you click a reference point (From point) on an object in the select set.

  • You can view the selected objects count on the status bar just to the left of the To Do List indicator.

  • When copying a large data set, a progress bar is displayed. If the software determines that the Copy operation might run out of virtual memory, the following message appears below the progress bar:

    If you cancel the operation, an entry is added to the error log.
