Copying constraints and interactions - no existing answers!

Copying constraints and interactions - no existing answers!

(OP)
Hi,

I have a model of a wall consisting of small timber panels - thus over 100 interactions, constrains and engineering features (springs). I need to have FOUR of these walls so I can make a building core.

I have no problems copying the assembly (using pattern tool). What I haven't found an answer on is trying to simultaneously copy all the interactions and constraints that are in the original assembly (it would take sooo long to define these again and again and again for the duplicated wall assemblies). How would I go about doing this?

I have stumbled upon one answer which involves copying lines from the .jnl file but as I'm unfamiliar with scripting, I encounter a lot of errors when I try run the script...

Any ideas highly appreciated.

Cheers
