Cam - Copy
Copying follower motion
Copying the follower motion will simply produce another follower motion with the same parameters. The newly created follower motion can be used in any other cam profile.
Copying cam profile
Copying the cam profile will produce another cam profile and follower motion. The new follower motion will get assigned to the new cam profile provided the cam profile was created using follower motion rather than importing follower motion points.
Copying the cam profile that was created using import follower motion points, will produce another cam profile alone.
Copying cam system
Copying the cam system will also copy the following entities: follower, cam profile and follower motion.
The newly created follower motion will get assigned to the new cam profile. The new cam profile and follower will get assigned to the newly created cam system. No need to separately copy follower, cam profile or follower motion. Copying the cam system alone is enough to produce another cam system with corresponding follower, cam profile and follower motion provided cam profile is created using follower motion rather than importing follower motion points.
Copying follower
Copying the follower will simply produce another follower but does not copy any other entities. Also, the newly created follower will not get assigned to any cam system. It is advised not to copy the follower.
