Objects
Ifyouneedtoduplicateobjectsonthebuildtray,youcaninsertthesame
objectfromitsfilemorethanonce.Aneasierway,however ,istocopyand
pastetheobject.Youcancopyobjectsfromthebuildtrayorthemodeltree.
Theobjectscopiedremaininthe
Windowsclipboarduntilyoupastethem
ontothebuildtray.
Youcanalsocopyobjectsfromonetrayandpaste themontoanother,inthe
samewayasyoucopytextfromonedocumentandpasteitintoanother
one.However,ObjetStudioallowsonlyonetraytobeopen
atatime.For
eachbuildtrayyouneedtoworkwith(atthesametime),youmustopena
separateObjetStudiowindow,byrunningtheapplicationagain(fromthe
WindowsStartmenu).
YouperformtheCopyandPastecommandsasinotherWindows
applications:
• fromtheright‐clickcontextmenu.
• byusingkeyboardshortcuts(Ctrl+CandCtrl+V,respectively).
ThePasteSpecialcommand(fromtheobject’sright‐clickcontextmenu)
enablesyoutoplaceduplicateobjectsevenmoreefficiently:
• Youcanspecifythenumberofduplicatestoplaceonthebuildtrayat
once.
• Youcansetthedistance,oneachaxis,betweentheduplicateobjects.
• Youcanmanipulatemirrorimagesoftheoriginalobject,andflipthem
onselectedaxes.

Having multiple Objet Studio windows open can be convenient when you
need to manipulate or configure objects before inserting them in your
production build tray. Copying and pasting also allows you to use objects
already configured on previously-used build trays for newer projects.
