what is the difference between group, composite and surface in COPY OBJECT option in ipt?????
Does the definition in the help file explain it clear enough?
Hi shuaib_cad,
(see Copy Object under references)
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,

I think not only how it displays it in the tree, it is how it comstructs the geometry in the model.
Curtis,
That is the same link I gave him
Hi shuaib_cad,
As per the section in the help article noted earlier, a group copies the selected objects to a new Group and places them in the Construction Folder which resides within the Construction Environment. This means that to work with it, you must activate the construction environment first (keep in mind that there have been changes to this in Inventor 2013). A group can contain multiple faces and the faces within are left unstitched.
A surface is face shape bounded by edges. Copying faces as surfaces results in a new feature for each selected face. The resulting surfaces are left unstitched. Copying faces as a composite results in a single new feature containing all of the face selections.
Note too that if you edit a part file from an assembly file you can use the Copy Object tool to copy as a Solid feature.
So while it might seem that the results all do the same thing, they each have their use for different workflows, depending on the task at hand. For instance, if we're doing some surface modeling we want a different result than if were trying to repair an imported model to make it a solid. There are also times when we use surface tools to create a surface as the end goal, and other times when a solid model is the end goal, and so the various options allow flexibility along the way.
I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis

He isn´t asking what each option in that function does, he is asking the difference between group, composite and feature. These terms aren´t exclusive to this inventor funcion.
