Clone Part

2-D Part > Clone

When you activate this function, a dialogue with the following options is displayed:

• If you select Union, there will be no changes to the part structure in the ICN. The copied graphical elements willbelong to the active part.
• If you select Without superordinate part, each clone will be created as an individual part with the same name and on the same level as the original
• If, however, you select Create superordinate part, the clones and the original part are managed as sub-parts under a new part called GROUP.
• If you select Create assembly, a new assembly called GROUP, to which the clones and the original part are subordinate, is created. The clones are assigned the name of the original part.

You can see the part structure in the ICN.

You can call the Clone functions via the same-named function group on the 2-D Part tab, or by right-clicking the part you want to clone and selecting the function from the context menu.

Break up 2-D cloning

Use this function to break up 2-D clonings that were created by means of macro technology. For this to happen, the cloned entity (=original part and cloned part) must be the active 2-D part – this can be achieved by right-clicking the drawing name in the ICN and selecting Auxiliary parts On/Off.
