Duplicate Entities
Duplicate selected entities.
Restriction: Only available in HyperMesh.
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 .
- 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.
