Copy and paste for Parts between studios in the same document

jakub_němec228

Hello, 
I am working on some adaptations of a box i have. Those adaptations are dwarven knots with diferent excrusion hight and distance from parts ( a lot of small parts in a knot like shape).

I have 12 parts of the main box i am trying to give those dwarven like apearance and making those extrusion, filets and patterns on each separately are really annoying. 

Is there a way to just take a whole exctruded pattern from the first studio and put it in second studio and jut select on what plane i want this pattern to use ? I have 3 diferent patterns, each with diferent style and it takes a long time to just to those all steps manualy ( many hours for me) so some way to speed it up would help a lot.

Thanks

Two easy options:

1. Use Derived to derive one or more parts from one part studio into another.
2. You can copy/paste entire part studios.  Right-click one part studio tab and select copy to clipboard.  Then click the plus sign (bottom left) and select paste tab.

If one is using Onshape Free, is there a work around for the fact that the 'paste' tab does not appear when one clicks on the + button?  There is something in the Clipboard because it shows '1' which I presume is the part I have just copied. Thus I cannot see why the tab does not appear.

I keep having to use Morror copy which is a terrible solution to a very simple task.

Want to do the same thing and using the non paid which I always read was exactly like paid as far as function.  Have 2 parts that are onsite halve I print and bond together.  I want to put the together as a solid in one part studio.  There is no Derive in my tool bar as shown in the help function.  For now my workaround is put them together in an assembly and export as stl but I would rather have them in one part studio and put them together with a Bolen to form on part.  I have other operations and development I want to do with the single solid part.  I love Onshape but sometimes things that should be simple are not obvious..  Sorry Peter, did not mean to highjack your thread but did not want to start another thread for the same question.

UPDATE: Found Derived and pulled in the part which put it on top of the existing .. will go back and read the man page on derived before asking any more questions.. Located at the bottom of the drop down list where plane normally is, have to scroll ..

Thanks in advance 
Doug
