Copy Multiple Cavities

Copy multiple cavities/footprints simultaneously by specifying the displacement along their common axes.

1.     MDTools 965 > Copy > Copy Multiple

The Copy Multiple Cavities dialog box displays.

MDTools^® displays the coordinate symbol, indicating the direction of coordinates at the manifold origin.

2.     Click the Select button and then select the cavities you want to copy.

A data field to enter the displacement along the common axes displays on the dialog box.

3.     Enter the required displacement along each axis.

If you select cavities on perpendicular faces, MDTools displays only one field to enter displacement. This happens because cavities have only one common axis.

4.     Enter the number of multiple copies required in the No. of Stations option.

5.     Click OK.

MDTools creates copies of selected cavities/footprints.

Note:

·       Cavity ID of original cavity _Copy is used as the cavity ID for all the copies of the cavity.
For example, if you copy a cavity with ID ‘2A’, then the ID of the copy will be ‘2A_Copy’.

·       Names of the construction ports will be assigned automatically as per the default construction port ID in MDTools Options.

·       Displacement can be specified only along the common axis of the cavities.

·       Cavities on three mutually perpendicular faces cannot be copied using this command.
For example, top, left, and front.
