Dear users,

I want to copy a object from one document to my new document, ¿how i do that?.

I know the object´s name and the document´s root, i use a CommandData plugin.

Thanks.

copyme = doc.SearchObject('myobj')
root   = otherodc.SearchObject('myroot')
  
copyme.InsertUnderLast(root)

but names are a really bad way to get hold of an object. you should use reference guis like
the linkbox or the inexclude list or use the with r14 newly introduced GUID / UIP of a BaseObject.

Ferdinand, you need to clone the object before you insert it from there, or remove it from the
previous document.

¿I have to open the other document before to copy the object using LoadDocument()?

I have this error: "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SearchObject'" with this code:
 
objetc="Brillante"
base=documents.LoadDocument(File,c4d.SCENEFILTER_OBJECTS)
copy=base.SearchObject(objetc).GetClone()
doc.InsertObject(copia)
 
"File" is the root of the base document.
 
Thanks

file needs to be an absolute document path string -> 'C:\Files\mydocument.c4d'. LoaDocument 
returns None when the given path does not exist. Therefore base is of the type None in your 
example.
