-
Right-click Body.1 and select the
Copy contextual command.
Body.1 contains one Shellable feature as well as a
Cutout feature.
-
Open a new CATPart document and position the cursor
anywhere in the specification tree.
-
Select Edit -> Paste Special....
The Paste Special dialog box that appears proposes
three paste options:
- As specified in Part document:
the object is copied as well as its design specifications.
- As Result With Link: the object is copied without
its design specifications and the link is maintained between the
reference and the copy.
- As Result: the object is copied without its design
specifications and there is no link between the reference and the
copy.
|
-
For our scenario, select the As Result With Link
option if not already selected.
-
Click OK to confirm.
Body.2 is copied into the new document.
A cube represents this solid.
-
Return into the first document to add a functional
feature. For example, create a functional hole.
-
Take a look at the new document: the cube
graphic symbol used for Solid.1 in the tree now contains a
red cross. This means that the initial functional
body underwent transformations.
-
To integrate the changes, you need to use the
Synchronize contextual command. To do so, right-click Solid.1
in the specification tree and select Solid.1
object and apply the
Synchronize command.
You can observe that the copy reflects the change: it now
includes the hole.

Using Solid Functional Sets (Functional Bodies) Created with
Application Versions Anterior to V5R14
|
To perform this type of scenario with solid functional
sets (functional bodies)
created using application versions anterior to Version 5 Release 14,
first you need to upgrade the old CATPart document by editing any of the
features it contains, then save it in Version 5 Release 14. Once you have
done that, you can copy and paste its functional bodies as illustrated
here.
