Copy saddle cut to other tubes

Hi! I am trying to make a "saddle" cut between tubes and i used "Element contour"  command to create it. My question is, can i copy this cut to other tubes or should i use "Element contour" command every time? 

Using "Element contour" is the best way to create saddle cut? 

Thank you!

You can still copy this via these tools:

Select the grey box of one existing saddle and apply it to another elements

I thought about this, but the problem is that after i make the cut, there is no grey box like the one i have when i use Miter/Cut at object. I have only the green circles.

You can use propagate joint.

Select the joint box and right click.

It will add this to all visible items the same size and they will all be in a group so you only need to edit a master joint to make any changes.

Thank you, it was my mistake. I used "Element contour, UCS", instead "Element contour, rule". 

Rookie mistake 😄

For propagate the joint, be carefully, it get all the same possible connections, even if you don't want one or more. 

 

Check the possibility of all the tools here, you will be surprised:
