I am stepping through the process of understanding perceived limitations with the Equipment objects and may make generalizations / may be in error due to frustration.

I thank you for your pointers. I suppose there is no CWEXPLODE to convert to ACIS solids?

It does appear a graphic screen copy/paste is not possible due to the way Equipment is designed. I can understand that and I like the way Equipment functions.

My purpose here was to re-familiarize myself with Equipment; modeling a portion of a vessel with two nozzles for a simple nozzle re-design and not for plant layout purposes.

For this task, I will convert Equipment content to surfaces or and re-create ACIS solids from 2D content profiles.
