Description

The Std DuplicateSelection command duplicates objects within the active document.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects in the Tree view or the 3D view.
  2. Select the Edit → Duplicate selection option from the menu.

Notes

  • FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.
  • If graphical objects have been selected the results will not be immediately apparent in the 3D view as the new objects will have the same shape and position as their originals.

Preferences

  • Duplicate labels are allowed if Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Document → DuplicateLabels is set to true. This setting can also be changed in the Preferences Editor.
