- 5 minute read
Copies a fitting to a specified position on the same section and P-line as the original fitting.
You are prompted to Select section(s)
Note:
The prompt does not display if the section element is already selected.
Click to identify the section that contains the fitting to be copied and press Enter. The fittings are highlighted in the 3D view, each fitting displays as a fitting pin.
You are then prompted to Select fitting or
Click to identify the fitting to be copied.
You are then prompted to Specify Distance or
Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting. The fitting is copied to the new position, measured from the start of the P-line that the original fitting is on.
Alternatively, input a value in the field to define a number of copied fittings and the distance between each fitting and press Enter to end the command. For example, input 5x200mm;2x100mm to create five fittings at 200mm intervals, followed by two fittings at 100mm intervals, measured from the start of the P-line that the original fitting is on.
Throughout the copy fitting process you can press ESC to cancel the command. Additional functionality is also available.

Angle |
Press the down arrow key and select Angle to rotate the fitting. You are prompted to Specify Angle <#deg> Input an angular value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the angle of the fitting. |
|
Basepoint |
Press the down arrow key and select Basepoint to identify a base point to position the copied fitting. You are then prompted to Specify base point or Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the basepoint from which the position of the copied fitting is measured. You are prompted to Specify Distance or Input a dimensional value in the field and press Enter or click to identify the position of the fitting. Alternatively, input a value in the field to define a number of fittings and the distance between each fitting and press Enter to end the command. For example, input 5x200mm;2x100mm to create five fittings at 200mm intervals, followed by two fittings at 100mm intervals, measured from the basepoint. |
