Copy surface from surface

Copy surface from surface

Copy surface from surface

(OP)
In Wildfire, it was possible to copy a surface from an existing quilt or surface. In researching Creo, it appears that you can only make a rectangular flat surface of an existing irregular-shaped flat surface. Likewise, to copy a curved surface, like a round, the copy is also curved but does not terminate where the existing surface does...It is more like a curved rectangle, rather than a TRUE copy of the surface. Is this really true?! The only other option appeared to be having to select its boundary edges. If the boundary is really complex, that could take many mouse-clicks to do what Wildfire could do in one single click. Am I missing something here?

...And using the boundary method fails even for simple cases where a flat surface is connected to a round surface, and you want both.

Seems like the only solution I can find is to pubgeom the desired surfaces,create a new file and cgeom them,pubgeom THAT then save the file, then cgeom that back into the original file.
