      So I've got all the object-linking stuff down pretty good now. But I have yet another problem... Is there any way I can copy a group of linked objects? In other words, can I select (for example) thirty objects linked to a single object, copy them all and paste them? So far, I've had no success...

      Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

      Yeah, I've been wondering that too. (Joseph, sorry to get your hopes up by posting in this)

      OK, this is an easy one. there are several different settings for linking the objects. Go up to the tool bar and click and hold the grouping button. it should have some different settings, try copying and pasting with each one.

      note: You must copy the main object. The object that all the others are linked to.

      I hope that helps.

      Yes, that does help. Thank you! I had a problem involving moving some support structures on a fuel tank (that I might post if you can weedle it out of me ;)) that this solved.

      Cap.Editor is absolutely right.And Skyblade if you followed the same procedure and didn`t manage to copy you objects, the only tyhing I can think of is that you were trying to copy your objects while Infini-D was still in the process of redrawing the complicated wireframe or Phong preview.
