A copy of geometric objects is a model object containing geometric objects with no history, which are copies of the geometric objects of the current or another model.

In this case, a "copy" means the Copy  object, which is created by the Copy Objects operation and contains copies of selected model objects. For simplicity of exposition, further in the text, instead of the phrase ‘Copy object’ the term ‘copy of geometric objects’ or simply ‘copy’ will be used.

The use of copies of geometric objects is one of the techniques for designing an assembly model (see Appendix Methods for designing assemblies. Teamwork, Top down design with pre-detailing and Bottom up design with pre-detailing).

Sources of geometric objects included in the same copy must be contained in the same document.

There is an associative connection between the objects included in the copy and their source objects. Changes of source objects can be transferred to the copy automatically or manually. For more details, see section Updating a copy of geometric objects.

The copy may include objects of the model itself, its components and the detailing geometry contained in it.

The objects included in the copy can be changed by subsequent operations, as well as used in the operations of constructing various objects of the model.
