Hello friends welcome to Free tutorial
0:02
and in this tutorial we will learn how
0:05
to create copy of a part in freead and
0:09
how to use it in a part modeling you can
0:14
also visit my website Mech nexus.com
0:17
where I write articles and tutorials on
0:20
freeat you can also download my tutorial
0:23
Source F from the here you can also
0:26
support my work by buying my free cat
0:30
trash course for beginner it is a very
0:32
basic level course for the beginner user
0:35
where a beginner user can Master the
0:39
Cad and you can also support my work on
0:42
coffee.com you can buy me a cup of
0:45
coffee you will get my website link and
0:48
my Kofi donation page Link in a video
0:53
description so here is a control block
0:57
and now we will see how we can create
1:01
exact copy of this control block so for
1:04
this this is made in a part design as
1:09
you can see the features here's my pad
1:11
pocket dat temp plane if I wanted to
1:15
create s copy then I have to switch it
1:18
to the part workbench and in part
1:20
workbench select the body and go to the
1:24
part and here click on create a simple
1:28
copy so so a copy has been created here
1:32
as you can see here the body
1:36
001 I will click on it and click on the
1:39
transform then I will get my X Y and Z
1:42
axis then I can simply move
1:46
it so we have the exact copy here of our
1:53
part now I press the space bar and hide
1:56
it now if I click on my body if I go to
2:00
the create a copy then here the other
2:04
three form as well create a transform
2:08
copy create shape element copy or refine
2:14
I go with a create a transform copy then
2:18
I can create one more copy
2:28
transform and and then I on this two and
2:31
there is a one is a refine
2:34
shape so this is how we can create a
2:37
copy but one thing you should aware
2:40
about this is this is the
2:43
nonparametric the copy you create is
2:46
nonparametric because here we have a
2:49
created a copy body 001 but we cannot
2:52
see any feature inside of
2:55
this and the other downside is that if
2:59
if we make any changes to our parent
3:03
part it won't be reflect on our child
3:06
part so if I go here and uh if I edit my
3:12
cut depth up to face instead if I say
3:18
mm so you can see that this is our
3:22
parent body where I have a changed my
3:27
depth from up to pH to the 5 mm but it
3:32
here this means that the copy we create
3:39
if I press the contrl
3:43
Z so what is the benefit of this body
3:47
created copy so after my study I have
3:51
found that the main use of this body is
3:55
that if you want to make any changes to
3:59
your parent part but you want to keep
4:02
open your reference part here for
4:06
example if I wanted to model any feature
4:08
on my part whether I am not sure that
4:12
that feature will fail or succeed so in
4:17
case I have my reference part is there
4:20
and I can reward back my shape to my
4:24
previous one so this reference is just
4:27
for complex modeling if you are making
4:29
any model which is very
4:32
complex and you are not sure that uh the
4:35
features or in shape which you are going
4:37
to adap will succeed or not so that is
4:40
the only use I have saw with my study of
4:45
this created copy else it is a
4:47
non-parametric so there is a no any use
4:51
of this apart from if you are modeling
4:55
any complex shape and other benefit is
4:57
that uh you can create create a multiple
5:00
copies feature by features and you can
5:09
the different format of like STL or
5:14
step okay so this is the useful if you
5:18
want to create a different version of
5:20
your parent part for example I want to
5:23
to make a three variant of my part
5:28
so I will will go here in the body and I
5:31
will go to the part and create a copy so
5:35
one more copy has been created
5:38
here and I will go to the transform and
5:41
I want to move it so main benefit I
5:45
found is that you can save the different
5:48
variations for example if you want
5:53
to on one part if you are not if you
5:56
want a hole and other part you do not
5:59
want a hole hole and in the second part
6:01
you want two holes or any feature so you
6:05
can save all these three configurations
6:09
file so you do not have to separately
6:12
store the different version of your part
6:16
in a different file like a St or STL so
6:19
this is how you can create a copy of
6:24
freead but it should be
6:28
nonparametric keep in mind that else it
6:32
is a very good feature of a free Cad and
6:35
this is all about this sessions how to
6:37
create a copy of your part in freead
