This task shows how sketched elements behave when you copy and paste
them. More specifically, you will learn about:
For general information on copy/paste, see the Infrastructure User's Guide. Copying/pasting elements with H and V constraints on their absolute axisThis task shows you how to copy/paste elements along with the horizontal and vertical constraints on their absolute axis. |

In other words, if you want to copy an element along with its H and V direction while keeping the constraints which exist between the copied element and its origin, you do not need to, and you should not, select the origin. Selecting the constraints is enough. If you select the origin, the constraints will not be kept. |

Copying/pasting projected or intersected elementsThis task shows how sketched elements that were created via projection or intersection behave when copying/pasting them.

Copying SketchesThis task shows how pasted sketches behave.

|
The sketch is pasted. You can observe a blue symbol added to the image of the sketch in the specification tree, meaning that associativity is maintained between the reference geometry and the copy. |
|
In the specification tree, sketches copied and pasted in documents different from the documents in which they were created are identified by a green point in target documents: The green point is turned into a red cross when the copied sketch needs synchronizing with its reference: |
