Copying and Pasting Objects
If you need to duplicate objects on the build tray, you can insert the same object
from its file more than once. An easier way, however, is to copy and paste the
object. You can copy objects from the build tray or the model tree—individual or
multiple parts or assemblies. The objects copied remain in the Windows
clipboard until you paste them onto the build tray.
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 on another tray before inserting the
object. 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 once.
• 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
