Can I copy - paste a section - view ?

Imagine I want to create a 'clon' for a given section view. 

The fast way would be to copy-paste or something like this and then change the station.

Is it possible ? ..... Any trick ? 

Thanks

You can use AutoCAD Copy command to replicate the section view, but you can't change the section view's station.

 

Don't use Copy and Paste as you lose the sections from the view.

Aha. Then is there any other way ?

As far as I have seen the way c3D offer us to create section views is poor. 

Imagine.... in case I have 300 aligments .... 

This post is related with other I sent .... (cant create custom wizards...?)...

Thanks

I've never tried it and I don't have C3D on this computer to try it on but, could you copy the sample line? Grab the sample line and type CO<enter><enter><enter> and that will copy it in place (if it works). Then move it and create a section view (it might even copy the section view with it).

I think you may have misunderstood Tim's response in This other thread.

If the Command Settings are set as desired for "Group Plot Styles, Section View Styles etc. within a master drawing template (.dwt) that is used to create all drawings that contain section views, then Yes, it's possible to populate many of the fields within the Create Section Views Wizard.

I think what Tim meant is if you change them within the Wizard in your current drawing, and ignore entering Command Settings in a dwt mentioned in other thread then they will not be set in your drawings created before you make the changes to your template.

Hope this helps.
