How to paste physical material and appearance?

[kdeuler]

Hi. I can see how one can right click on a image entity, then click on Properties to see its physical material and appearance. That window also has a "Copy to clipboard" option. 

What I can't seem to find is a way to paste these attribute values to another entity. Could someone plz advise how this is done?

Thanks!

Hi

That, "Copy to clipboard" function in properties merely copies the text of that window. For example, ...

Z Axis Rails
Area	1.830E+04 mm^2
Density	0.008 g / mm^3
Mass	284.101 g
Volume	3.619E+04 mm^3
Physical Material	Steel

Bounding Box
Length 	 376.00 mm
Width 	 8.00 mm
Height 	 360.00 mm
World X,Y,Z	0 mm, 0 mm, 0 mm
Center of Mass	-0.00754065 mm, -41.7 mm, 276 mm

Moment of Inertia at Center of Mass   (g mm^2)
	Ixx = 3.069E+06
	Ixy = -4.923E-07
	Ixz = -1.289E-09
	Iyx = -4.923E-07

...

As far as I know, there is no way to copy/paste material appearances. You have to drag the material icon from the Appearances window onto the component/body in question, each time. The idea is to drag the exact same icon over, for each object of the same appearance, of course.

Ok thanks @gruvin .  I've put in a feature request for this one.
