Duplicate Entities

Duplicate selected entities.

Duplicate entities in the following ways:

• Select an entity in a browser then press Ctrl + D, or right-click and select Duplicate from the context menu.
  This action is equivalent to creating a new entity using the same attributes (color, Entity Editor fields, etc.) as the selected entity. If the duplicated entity is a collector, it will duplicate the collector but not its contents (collected entities). For example, duplicating a Component will not duplicate its elements or geometry.

  Use the Entity Editor to modify any attributes.

• Select entities in the modeling window then right-click and select Duplicate > <Component Option>.
  • Select Current Component to place the duplicated entities in whatever Component is current (bold) in the browser.
  • Select Original Component to place the duplicated entities in the same Component as the original selection.
  Available for the following entity types: elements, lines, points, solids, and surfaces.

  This will physically duplicate what is currently selected and will replace the selection with the new duplicated entities.
