Hi, Is there a quick way to copy and paste geometrical set properties? For example, if I have 'Line.2' with a defined thickness of 2 mm, can I quickly apply the same settings to a newly created 'Line.3' without manually adjusting in the properties tab? Also, I created an accelerator for a specific command. How can I save it so it still there after restarting the 3DX platform? Thank you3DEXPERIENCE CATIAshortcut

Hello, I'd like to know is there different format to open the drawing when explore & authoing mode. Recently, I have been experiencing repetitive issues with saving while drawing, and the drawing content disappearing when opening the next day. - When opening a drawing in Explore mode, the drawing content is visible, but when opening it in Authoring mode, there is no content. If you know whether the format data is the same or different when opened in Explore mode & Authoring mode, please let me

The R2025x FD01 update introduced Generative Constraints in the Sketcher app. I was curious how it works compared with the command Auto Constraint. For the sketch below, I used the Auto Search to select the profile, and then I selected the H and V axes of the sketch, in both Chained and Stacked modes. I also tried a macro that I did for CATIA v5 and quickly converted to be used in 3DEXPERIENCE (there were no improvements for the macro). It was even worse; the sketcher had over-constraints. Using
