associative feature copy

Hello citizens,

In IDEAS you could use FEATURE COPY to associatively copy features within a part.  This was useful when patterning or mirroring wouldn't work.  Pro-E has PASTE SPECIAL which if I remember right, does the same thing.  NX has PASTE SPECIAL but it's non-associative.

In NX how can you associatively copy a feature like a boss or pocket and place it somewhere else on the part?  I tried different things and did some research, but I don't see any easy way to do it?

How is everyone out there handling that?

Thanks in advance,

Alex
