copy and paste features between different models

[summer3d]

Bye.
I searched online and on the forum but without finding answers to my question.

Is there a way to copy a feature or a group of features from the tree model of a part to the tree model of another part keeping them intact? without losing the chance to redefine them? as if they were created in the new model I mean.

this certainly implies having to assign the references to which the feature is connected. (existes already in axiemi in the non-related component replacement operation).

Thank you.

here for example solidworks already does it:

is called fdu (feature defined by the user)

Besides the fdu, the copy/paste is there, but it must be used "special glue", to the first menu that appears with the special paste, the last option (memory sink), after which the references on which the copied features have been created must be selected in sequence.
I recommend trying and taking practice on simple features, while with larger groups of features, it is advisable to verify that the features have "stable" references (with external references, it can become complex to reach the end "gluing".

Thanks for the answers.
the fdu in fact I had already evaluated it so much time but I remember that I gave it up because on groups of complex features it is quite Moroccan.... but you refreshed my memory: I think another attempt to use it will do it and deserves to. Thank you.

about the special copy and paste instead I do not understand how to export it to another model. ie inside the same part ok, but to paste it into another model how do you do?

go to the source part, choose the or the features and do ctrl+c, go to the part where you have to paste the features and click on "special glue", from there the paste procedure.

- Yeah. I didn't know that! Now I'm trying to hang myself a bit. beautiful info. Thank you very much

fdu instead with specific procedure, you can insert a lot of feature just with a system of coordinates.
It is necessary to model the features to be copied so that they are the son of the csys.
in the destination part then, just select the csys and feature paired with one click.

I created for a client of fdu bookcases, still now sends me a gift to Christmas
