Purpose
For an operation: duplicate the part several times, so that the set of machining operations selected is reproduced on the same stock model, but in a different location. The example below shows the propagation of a machining operation on a pocket, so that the 3 other operations are carried out with the same conditions. Please note that, in this case, the user defines the translation value and that the latter must check that it corresponds to the pockets’ “pitch”.

Understanding the function
Each selected operation is duplicated, according to criteria defined by the user.
How to use
Select the function 'Operations / Propagation / Creation'.
Define the transformation to be created (translation, rotation, symmetry, .…).
Enter the parameters linked to the type of required transformation.
Define paths for operations to be propagated, on the screen’s graphic section.
The following figure shows the tree for machining operations, before and after propagation:
