Copy Geometric Set To New Part

Copy Geometric Set To New Part

File: Part_Document_Scripts/Copy_Geometric_Set_To_New_Part.py
Version: 1.1
Document Type: Part (also works with Part inside Product or Process)

---

Description

Copies all hybrid shapes from a selected geometric set into a new blank CATPart as datums without parametric links. The new part is named after the selected geometric set. Useful for isolating geometry for delivery or sharing a subset of a complex part.

Requirements

Requirement	Value
Python	>= 3.10
pycatia	>= 0.8.3
wxPython	Not required
Open document	Part, or Part inside Product/Process

---

Usage

1. Open a CATPart document containing a geometric set with hybrid shapes
2. Run the script
3. Select the geometric set to copy — click OK when done
4. A new blank CATPart is created containing the copied geometry as datums

---

Output

A new unsaved CATPart document is created in CATIA named after the selected geometric set. The part contains a single geometric set with the same name, holding all copied shapes as datums (no parametric links to the source part).

Notes

• The new part is not saved automatically — save it manually after reviewing the result
• Only the top-level hybrid shapes of the selected set are copied — child geometric sets are not recursed into
• All copied shapes are datums with no link back to the source part
• Only works on the immediate children of the selected geometric set, not nested sets
