Why isn't the "copy" checkbox available? Trying to move and duplicate a feature

Hey All,

 

I have a fixture plate that I am trying to add more pockets too. When I select all the faces of the pocket and do a move/copy, there is no check box for "copy" available. Why is this?

 

I have been going back into the sketch to do this, but it is so cumbersome.

 

There has to be a way to duplicate a pocket/feature(s) and drag and drop it in a new location on my model, no? 

 

Thanks Chris E.

You can use a process I call Body Modeling.  The video will explain.

feature-level copy/paste is not directly supported in Fusion.  In addition to @jhackney1972 's method, depending on where you want the copies, you can use a feature pattern.  Select the features, and a direction, and a count.  I would start with Feature Pattern, with a compute type of "Identical", for highest likelihood of success.

That did the trick! Certainly easier than going all the way back to the sketch and fooling around. Thank you!
