The 3D document containing a geometrical bundle and an electrical bundle is open as well as the new product document.
Make sure the source document has not been modified, otherwise you will be prompted to save it before extracting the data.

In the new product document:

  1. Click Extract .

    You are prompted to select an electrical or a geometrical bundle.

    It enables you to extract the information contained in the geometrical or the electrical bundles from your first document.

    When duplicating an electrical bundle, all the links with the geometrical bundles associated to it are maintained.
  2. Select the geometrical bundle you want to extract from the source document, whether in the geometry area or in the specification tree.

    When the extraction is performed the source document automatically closes.
  3. Save your data.
