Copy objects to another object

Question:
I have modelled a beam with shear studs. I'd like to copy them across to another beam but it is at a different elevation and plane, is this possible?

Answer: 
Yes, the Copy special > To another object command is perfect for this and the advantage is you don't need to know the distance or level you are copying to, as it copies object to object. The objects that you copy between must be similar but can have different dimensions, length, and rotation. Let's explore it a little more, in the first example we will copy some shear studs from one beam to another beam of a different size positioned on a different elevation, plane and angle. Then we will copy a cut from one object to another.

Example 1

1. Select the object/s you want to copy
2. Right-click and select Copy special > To another object
3. Select the object to copy from, the source object (1)
4. Select the object/s to copy to, the destination object (2)

Example 2

1. Select the cut/s you want to copy
2. Right-click and select Copy special > To another object
3. Select the object to copy from, the source object (1)
4. Select the object/s to copy to, the destination object (2)
