Copy Entities

Ron Betser Jul 14, 2011 8:53 AM

I am using the Copy Entities command in a sketch and for parameters the From/To option is selected. The issue is I can't select multiple points to copy to. I select one point and the command ends. Is there a way to copy an entity to multiple spots? I used to be able to do this in SW 2009 and now am using SW 2011 64 bit

Ron,

The PropertyManager just came "unpinned". Most PropertyManagers have a pin, and it is a remembered setting from the last time you used it. So at some time un-pinned it, and now it just needs to be re-pinned. It should stay pinned from now on, until you unpin it. The pin keeps the PropertyManager open until you click the green checkbox. If it is in the unpinned state, it exits the PropertyManager after you use a command once.
