Advanced copy (Change coordinate system with two points)

Menu access : Edit | Copy with ADVANCED COPY option.

Description :

The couple (origin coordinate system, destination coordinate system) is used to define the transformation and the translation (origin point, destination point) is added to this transformation.

The new created elements are depending of the destination coordinate system.

General philosophy :

1. Click on the CHANGE COORDINATE SYSTEM WITH 2 POINTS button (or CHANGE VIEW WITH 2 POINTS in a TopSolid/Draft document).

2. Select the origin coordinate system.

3. Pick the origin point.

4. Select the destination coordinate system or click on CURRENT COORDINATE SYSTEM button.

5. Pick the destination point.

6. You can also give a rotation angle around the Z axis of the destination coordinate system, and then select the element(s) to copy.

Available option(s) :

The copy with the coordinate system change allow you to copy element from a document to another one.

In this mode, you can copy TopSolid/Draft element's in a TopSolid document.

Result :

The new created elements are the same than the initial elements, they have the same symbolic tree and all the definition elements are copied to, except the current coordinate system.

Specific point(s) :

The copy with view change allow you to copy element from a view to another one but the view does not contain projected element(s). The new created element belong to the destination view.

You can copy element from a main view or an auxiliary view but you can't copy element(s) from detail view or interrupted view.
