There are two ways to paste a body within the same file. Pasting a Body in the Same Fileīodies can be copied within the same design file while in Parametric Modeling (History-Based) mode or Direct Editing mode. To copy, right-click on a Body in the Browser and select “copy.” You can also select the body in the Browser to use the keyboard shortcuts CTRL + C (Windows) or CMD + C (Mac). Copy Bodies in Fusion 360įusion 360 bodies can be copied similarly to sketches. You need to create a new sketch on one of the origin panes, a construction plane, or if you already have some bodies with faces, you can create a new sketch of any one of the planar faces. This is why you won’t see the “Paste” option from the right-click menu when you’re not in a sketch environment. Otherwise, you will need to create another sketch with the “Create Sketch” command in the toolbar.įusion 360 does not allow sketches to float in space. If not, double-click on your sketch in the timeline to “edit” the sketch.

To paste sketch geometry to another sketch you will need to make sure the second sketch, or desired pasting location, is currently active.

You will need to click “OK” to confirm (or paste) the sketch.

You should always consider if the Rectangular or Circular Pattern features are better suited for your design. In Fusion 360, copying a sketch has many different nuances based on where you’re wanting to paste the sketch.
