Copying and pasting viewports in layout states
You can copy and paste the entire contents of a viewport in a layout state to another viewport in the same or another layout state, to the same or another part (Simulation, FEM, or assembly FEM), or to the same or different application. The software copies and applies all the content in the selected viewport node, including the content of any subnodes, such as curve operations.
Use the Copy Viewport command to copy a viewport. Then, use the Paste Viewport command to paste the entire contents
