---------Hi everybody,
Could it be that AliasTrans only works with C++? I'm writting in COFFEE and I'm trying to merge 2 Documents. Merging works, but the Key in the Animations an the links from Material to Object dosen' t work. I read in the forum that I should use AliasTrans. But I didn't find it in the SDK 9. How can merge correktly 2 documents without loosing the links?

Greetings,

Unfortunately I'm afraid there is no AliasTrans counterpart in C.O.F.F.E.E.

So, there is no way to merge 2 documents with COFFEE? Can this be?

Fortunately enough it seems like alias translation isn't necessary for merging. All that's needed isn't to remove from one document and insert into another. This code seems to work for me: (It merges the active document with the previous or next.)

    
    
      var rec = doc->GetPrev();  
      if (!rec) rec = doc->GetNext();  
        
      var mat = doc->GetFirstMaterial();  
      var tmat, pmat=NULL;  
      while (mat)  
      {  
        tmat = mat;  
        mat = tmat->GetNext();  
          
        tmat->Remove();  
              println(rec); println(tmat); println(pmat);  
        rec->InsertMaterial(tmat, pmat);   
        pmat = tmat;  
      }  
        
      var obj = doc->GetFirstObject();  
      var tobj, pobj=NULL;  
      while (obj)  
      {  
        tobj = obj;  
        obj = tobj->GetNext();  
          
        tobj->Remove();  
        rec->InsertObject(tobj, NULL, pobj);   
        pobj = tobj;  
      }  
        
      KillDocument(doc);  
      EventAdd();

Hi Mikael,
your code work perfekt! Thank you. Your solution is much more simple than mine. I think my mistake was it to work with Bits and clone. This was my code:
 
 objFile->AddLast(derpfad);
        vDoc1=GetActiveDocument();
        vBits=vDoc1->GetAllBits();
        vOK=LoadDocument(objFile);
vMat=vDoc2->GetFirstMaterial();
        if (vMat)
         {
          while (vMat)
             {
              vDoc1->InsertMaterial(vMat->GetClone(),NULL);
                vMat=vMat->GetNext();
            }
         }
         vObj=vDoc2->GetFirstObject();
         if (vObj)
         {   while (vObj)
              {
               vDoc1->InsertObject(vObj->GetClone(0),NULL,NULL);
                vObj=vObj->GetNext();
             }
         }
         vDoc2->Remove();
         KillDocument(vDoc2);
         vDoc2=NULL;
         vDoc1->SetAllBits(vBits);
