Description

Part SimpleCopy‎ produces a copy that has no parametric history; the steps and operations needed to create it aren't accessible any more.

Alternatively, to produce other non-parametric copies use Transformed Copy, Element Copy, and RefineShape

Usage

  1. Select an object for which you wish to make a copy.
  2. Go to the menu Part → Create a copy → Create simple copy.

Properties

Data

The copy has a simple DataPlacement property like any other Part Feature.

View

The copy has simple view properties like any other Part Feature.

Scripting

The Part SimpleCopy‎ command can be applied after selecting one or more objects in the Tree view:

FreeCADGui.runCommand('Part_SimpleCopy')

The selection can be manual (by using the mouse), or via the Python console.
To know more about selecting objects programmatically, refer to Selection methods.
