Draft Clone/ro

Description
This tool produces a clone (a copy that is parametrically bound to the original object) of a selected object. If the original object changes, the clone changes too, but keeps its position, rotation and scale.



How to use

 * 1) Select objects you wish to clone
 * 2) Press the  button

Options

 * Clones of 2D objects (Draft or Sketch) will also be 2D objects, and therefore can be used as such for Part Design.
 * All Arch objects have the possibility to behave as a clone (using their CloneOf property). If you use the Draft Clone tool on a selected Arch object, you will produce such an Arch cloned object instead of a regular Draft clone.

Properties

 * : Specifies an optional scale factor for the clone
 * The result of the Draft Scale tool is also a clone
 * No sketches can be mapped to faces of a clone. That is at the moment a known limitation.

Scripting
The Clone tool can by used in macros and from the python console by using the following function:


 * Makes a clone of the given object(s).
 * The clone is an exact, linked copy of the given object.
 * If the original object changes, the final object changes too. Optionally, you can give a delta Vector to move the clone away from the original position.
