<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Overview">Overview</span></h2>
|
|
<p>A facility to duplicate objects (paragraphs, spreadsheet cells, images, etc) is present in most applications. FreeCAD is no exception. <a href="Document_structure.html" title="Document structure">Document</a> objects may be freely copied within a document or between documents using the <a href="Std_Copy.html" title="Std Copy">Copy</a>, <a href="Std_Paste.html" title="Std Paste">Paste</a> and <a href="Std_DuplicateSelection.html" title="Std DuplicateSelection">Duplicate Selection</a> commands.

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Copying_Linked_Objects">Copying Linked Objects</span></h2>
|
|
<p><a href="Document_structure.html" title="Document structure">Document</a> objects may be linked to other objects (for example, a Pad feature is linked to it's Sketch, and a Fusion feature is linked to it's component objects). This means that some care must be exercised in selecting objects to copy.
|
|
</p><p>If an object is selected without it's children, those children are not automatically duplicated by Copy/Paste or Duplicate Selection. In this case, the copied object may exhibit unexpected behaviour due to expected links not being present.
|
|
</p><p>In general, recommended practice is to select all dependent objects when copying a parent object.
|
|
</p>

<h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Finding_and_Positioning_Pasted_Object.28s.29">Finding and Positioning Pasted Object(s)</span></h2>
|
|
<p>After the Copy/Paste operation, it may not be obvious where the new object(s) are located in the Document window. That is because the new object has the same <a href="Placement.html" title="Placement">Placement</a> property as the original. Toggle the Visibility property (spacebar) to hide the original. Then use the Placement dialog to move the copy to it's correct position.

<p>Like most things in FreeCAD, there are many ways of making a copy. For more ideas, look at:
