This operation performs copying of non-topological data from one shape to another. The topology of the destination object will not change, only non-topological data will be transferred (if it is present in the source object). It is possible to transfer the following data with this operation:

Names
Materials

To use this operation, select in the Main Menu Operations -> Transfer Data. The following dialog box will appear.

Transfer Data Dialog

In this dialog:

Source Shape is an object that is a source of non-topological data.
Destination Shape is a data destination object.
Type of detection operation allows choosing how to search sub-shapes of the Source Shape in the Destination Shape. The data are transferred from these corresponding sub-shapes. The following methods are possible:
- Get In Place - the current implementation of Get In Place algorithm (default value).
- Get In Place (old) - the old implementation of Get In Place algorithm.
- Get In Place By History - Get In Place By History algorithm.

To copy the data click on Apply or Apply and Close button. It is possible to see how many names and materials are copied as well as the maximum number of names and materials available for copying. This information is provided in the following message box:

Transfer Data Information

TUI Command: geompy.TransferData(ObjectFrom, ObjectTo, FindMethod),
where ObjectFrom is a data source object, ObjectTo is a destination object and FindMethod is a same shape detection method with default value GEOM.FSM_GetInPlace.

Our TUI Scripts provide you with useful example of the use of Transfer Data functionality.
