By this syntax, an arbitrary bracket can be copied within a panel or from another panel.

Syntax:

BRACKET ,COPY [, <panel_from>]

,FCNO= <from_no> (1 ... 25)

[,<symmetry>

[,SEP]

[,MAT= <plate_thickn>]

[,MSID= <side_info>]

[,POS [,= <pos_no> (1 ... 25)]]

[,QUA= <quality_code>]

[,WELD= <leg_length> (1 ... 3)]

[,MIRR]

[,<position>|<translate>]

Most of the clauses are common to the previous syntax. Attributes which are not changed will retain their values from the bracket to be copied.

Description

COPY	If no panel name is assigned, the bracket is supposed to be copied from a given bracket of the current panel, otherwise from the given panel.
	<panel_from>::= <name>
FCNO	defines the bracket number(s) from where to copy the bracket(s).
	<from_no>::= <integer>
QUAL	If standard quality is wanted for a bracket stored with a special quality, then the quality code should be set to -1.
MIRR	The bracket will be mirrored in the center line plane of the ship.
Example:
Example 1: BRA, COPY= 'AA171-7', FCNO=5; Example 2: An alternative way of achieving the same thing as in example 3 of the previous section (provided the first bracket is stored with number 1): BRA, 'BRA_PAN'; BRA, COPY, FCNO=1, MOVE, X=700(700)2800; Example 3: BRA, 'BRA_PAN'; BRA, COPY, FCNO=1-4, MOVE, X=700;
