tcopy - Geometric procedure

Copies entities


Description

Creates a transformed copy of an entity. If the entity is a part a new part with the same name is created and TCOPY is performed on all its members.

Syntax

tcopy(id, entity, tform, amode:attributes);

REF	id;
REF	entity;
REF	tform;
INT	amode;

Principal parameters

id	- Local identity
entity	- Identity of the entity to copy and transform
tform	- Identity of transformation

Optional parameters

amode

- Attribute mode, 0 = copy from entity (default), 1 = use current

Attributes

Any attribute valid for the copied entity

Example

tcopy(#5,#2,#1);

Create a copy #5 of #2 using the transformation #1. Copy attributes from #2.

tcopy(#5,#2,#1,1:LEVEL=10);

Same as above but #2 will not inherit its attributes from the original entity. Instead the system current values will be used including LEVEL=10.

Comments

If the copied entity is a part no parameters are copied.
