About Power Copies

A Power Copy is a template that works at the 3D shape representation level. From a collection of features (geometry, literals, formulas, constraints, etc.), you can create your own feature. The result is a Part Design feature or a Shape Design feature that can be reused in the design of another 3D shape representation.
