Copying Objects via the Clipboard

Select the node from which you want to copy properties and/or child objects, and press <Ctrl><C> on the keyboard, select the Edit > Copy menu item or click on the (Copy) toolbar button.

With some nodes you can also right-click on the node and select Copy from the pop-up menu.

This places the object properties on the clipboard ready for pasting onto another node.

Now select the node to which you want to copy the properties and press <Ctrl><V>, or click on the (Paste) toolbar button. With some nodes you can also right-click on the node and select Paste from the pop-up menu.

The node where you applied the Paste command will resemble the node from which you copied properties.

The data placed on the clipboard by this operation cannot be viewed; if you attempt to paste it into a text editor, for example, you will see unintelligible material that is usable only by STAR-CCM+.
