Description

The Std DuplicateSelection command duplicates objects within the active document.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects.
  2. Select the Edit → Duplicate selected object option from the menu.
  3. If the objects have dependencies that have not been selected, a dialog box will prompt you to specify which should be included.

Notes

  • FreeCAD will automatically change the internal names and, depending on the preferences, labels of objects to avoid name conflicts.

Preferences

  • Duplicate labels are allowed if Tools → Edit parameters... → BaseApp → Preferences → Document → DuplicateLabels is set to true. This setting can also be changed in the Preferences Editor.

Scripting

The Std DuplicateSelection command can be applied after selecting one or more objects in the Tree view:

FreeCADGui.runCommand('Std_DuplicateSelection')

The selection can be manual (by using the mouse), or via the Python Console.
To know more about selecting objects programmatically, refer to Selection methods.
