[Paraview] copy-paste (or ,> clone/dublicate)

[Ian Krukow]

Hi Martina,

I had the same question myself. Now, I have just tried "copy" and 
"paste", and found out, that it obviously copies and pastes all the 
properties of the filter, and you can paste these into a filter of the 
same kind. So you create, e.g., Clip1 with all the settings you need, 
and copy its properties (right-click + copy). Then you create Clip2, and 
paste the properties into Clip2 (right-click + paste). I think, the 
important thing is to understand, that you do not copy the filter, but 
only its properties. At least, that is what is looks like to me.

I hope that helps.
Kind regards
Ian
