  1. Double-click the view you want to modify.

    The view is activated.

  2. Select the elements you want to modify in this view, and right-click them.
  3. From the context menu, select Duplicate Geometry.

    The selected geometry is duplicated on the view at the same position. It is highlighted after creation. Click the drawing to de-select it.

    Important:
    • The resulting geometry is created under the generative one. To access it, you can hide the corresponding generative geometry.
    • The resulting geometry is a 2D geometry and has standard 2D geometry behavior and not specific behavior of the original geometry .
    • If you want to copy/paste the generative geometry, it is recommended to use the Duplicate Geometry command.
