cpi {old_tgc new_tgc}CPI(nged)
NAME
cpi - Copies __old_tgc__(an existing TGC shape) to a new TGC shape (__new_tgc__), positions the new TGC such that its base vertex is coincident with the center of the top of __old_tgc__, and puts _mged_ into the primitive edit state with __new_tgc__ selected for editing.

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Copies old_tgc(an existing TGC shape) to a new TGC shape (new_tgc), positions the new TGC such that its base vertex is coincident with the center of the top of old_tgc, and puts mged into the primitive edit state with new_tgc selected for editing. This command was typically used in creating models of wiring or piping runs; however, a pipe primitive has since been added to BRL-CAD to handle such requirements.
EXAMPLES
The example shows the use of the cpi command to copy an existing TGC shape to a new TGC shape and position the new shape with its base vertex coincident with the center of the top of the existing shape.
Example 1. Copy an existing TGC shape to a new TGC shape.
mged>cpi tgc_a tgc_b
Copies tgc_a to tgc_b and translates tgc_b to the end of tgc_a.
