Best way to copy and paste objects into model

[Kevin Baker]

ConDoc,

I looking to know the best way to copy and paste objects from model to model when using the model organization guide.  For instance if each model file is created with the model organization guide is seems that the model organization file needs to be copied and pasted into the other file that has the same model organization system.  Then the pasted object needs to be exploded and then re-layered to get back to a single model organization guide?  Does this sound correct? I have a feeling there must be a simpler, faster and better way to do this.

Hello Kevin!

Good question!  The most critical part of the process you are describing is setting up the axes.  All of your models will need to have the same origin point.  This will allow you to copy and paste in place between files.

You don’t need to do the exploding and regrouping.  You just need click through the MOG groups, copy the geometry/objects… then in your other file click through the MOG groups, and paste in place.

Let me know if that clears things up!

Mike
