CPI nged BRL-CAD BRL-CAD User Commands
cpi Copies old_tgc(an existing TGC shape) to a new TGC shape (new_tgc), positions the new TGC such that its base vertex is coincident with the center of the top of old_tgc, and puts mged into the primitive edit state with new_tgc selected for editing.
`cpi` old_tgc new_tgc

## DESCRIPTION

Copies old_tgc(an existing TGC shape) to a new TGC shape (new_tgc), positions the new TGC such that its base vertex is coincident with the center of the top of old_tgc, and puts mged into the primitive edit state with new_tgc selected for editing. This command was typically used in creating models of wiring or piping runs; however, a pipe primitive has since been added to BRL-CAD to handle such requirements.

## EXAMPLES

The example shows the use of the `cpi` command to copy an existing TGC shape to a new TGC shape and position the new shape with its base vertex coincident with the center of the top of the existing shape.

Copy an existing TGC shape to a new TGC shape.

mged> `cpi tgc_a tgc_b`

Copies tgc_a to tgc_b and translates tgc_b to the end of tgc_a.
