You can also copy objects from one tray and paste them onto another, in the
same way as you copy text from one document and paste it into another one.
However, Objet Studio allows only one tray to be open at a time. For each
build tray you need to work with (at the same time), you must open a separate
Objet Studio window, by running the application again (from the Windows
Start menu).
Having multiple Objet Studio windows open can be convenient when you
need to manipulate or configure objects before inserting them in your
production build tray. For example, if you need to change the model
material of an object (saved as an objdf file) to match the model material
already used in the production build tray, you must do so before inserting
the object—on another tray. Copying and pasting also allows you to use
objects already configured on previously-used build trays for newer
projects.
You perform the Copy and Paste commands as in other Windows
applications:
• from the right-click context menu.
• by using keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, respectively).
The Paste Special command (from the object's right-click context menu)
enables you to place duplicate objects even more efficiently:
• You can specify the number of duplicates to place on the build tray at
• You can set the distance, on each axis, between the duplicate objects.
• You can manipulate mirror images of the original object, and flip them on
