You can paste or place objects along a straight feature, and at end features, component ports, and equipment ports. Duct, cableway, and conduit objects also are available to copy and paste.

The main restriction that exists among the routings tasks concerns activity within the same task. For example, you can only paste a conduit object within a conduit run. Similarly, for HVAC and Electrical, you only can paste duct objects within a duct run, or cableway objects within a cableway.

When you copy an object, you can paste it into an existing run. The data associated with the specification, cross section, and dimensions does not change. The software inserts transition features or mating objects to resolve differences in the composition of the model.

When you copy cross section shape and size, the software maintains the same dimension as the original section. The software inserts transitions for cableway and duct runs, and inserts reducers for conduit to compensate for different shapes or sizes.

The following graphic demonstrates the processing during pasting a copied object:
