Copying an object from one file to another

Hi,

I have two different .cfx files. And in each file I have a complex union geometry constructs. My question is can I move one of the structures (i.e a union) to the same .cfx file or should I make the drawings from scratch again?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi ynathan

     

    CADFEKO has an option to import one CADFEKO model into another. On the Home tab select Import -> CADFEKO model (*.cfx)...

    This will allow you to import various entities from one CFX file into your current model:

    There are also options to merge identical variables and media to ensure that you not have duplicate identical denifition as well as an option to add a prefix (text) to all the imported item labels to distinguish them from the original model items.

     

    Kind regards,

    Johan H
