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).
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.Forexample,ifyouneedtochangethemodel
materialofanobject(savedasanobjdffile)tomatchthemodelmaterial
alreadyusedintheproductionbuildtray,youmustdosobeforeinserting
theobject—onanothertray.Copyingandpastingalsoallowsyoutouse
objectsalreadyconfiguredonpreviously-usedbuildtraysfornewer
projects.
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.
