Hello,
Is there copy & paste function for connection design in STAAD Pro ?
There are many columns(having same section) in the model.
And I would like to use same base plate&anchor bolt with same concrete pedestal size.
Is there this copy&paste function?
There is no copy/paste function, but you can assign the same connection to the group of nodes. You can edit these same connections as a group by selecting all connections in the "RAM Connection Input" table and clicking Edit button at the bottom of this table.

Let's think about if there are 10 of H250x250 columns and 20 of H350x350 columns in the model.
With this function, I should select "all nodes" with same columns. Until this stage, It is OK.
However, after that if I add a column in a model, then I should do input process again with checking whether I input the parameters well.
Then If I change the column like, from H250 to H350 , then I should do input again of course checking process as well.
It is too much time consuming process isn't it?
Is there any upcoming or further future update for COPY&PASTE function for Connection in STAAD Pro?
In that case, I think, you may create it a custom connection in the Connection Database and the assign that custom connection to the required nodes.
I appreciate your help. For now, it is the only way.
