Copy part

[GrzegorzD]

Hello,
I'm just started working with CATIA 5.14 (early it was CATIA 4.2.4). And I have a problem with copying the parts. How can I copy the part and avoid the association with the first one. I mean that when I change the parameters for the "oryginal" it shouldn't change the copied part.

Thanks
Greg

Use "save as", or start the new one with "new from". If the parameters aren't important then you can just copy the body and use "paste special" -> "As result", which will give a dumb solid

Thanks a lot Azrael,

I know that it was silly question but I just started...

Note: If you "save as," the UUID won't change.

Use "save as" and click the "save as new document" checkbox.

You can also do a Copy/Paste Special, Break Link. This will provide you with a new document with new UUIDs. If you have Contextual Links, you will need to re-define the Context. The part number is usually something like "Copy of XXXXXX", but you can easily rename that.

Hi,
because we work in SmarTeam with its problems, I use one way.
Copy Partbody, elments from Geom. sets, axis if U use it. Then paste it into clear part...
It work well, but U must copy all element U use for model...

Good luck
