Why we like it

ECopy earns a place in the ScriptSpot library for handling copy-and-paste across files, computers and even two running 3ds Max instances at once, tagging each copy with a time, preview and username.

What is ECopy?

ECopy is a 3ds Max script by EKDtools that registers into the program's main menu. It opens a user interface where you scroll through slots with the mouse, giving you 20 separate slots to copy and paste from.

ECopy can move objects between different files and between computers on the same network, and it lets you set the copy path to any location, including a network location. That makes it usable when a project involves collaboration with other people. Each copy is recorded with a timestamp, a large centered preview of the object, and the username of the person who made it.

ECopy also works across two 3ds Max instances running at the same time: a copy made in one instance shows a preview in the other. Version 1.03 was last updated in May 2023, and it appears in the ScriptSpot library.

Who is ECopy best for?

ECopy is best for 3ds Max users copying and pasting objects between files or across networked computers, including collaborative work with others.

How much does ECopy cost?

ECopy is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

How do I access ECopy in 3ds Max?

ECopy registers into the main menu of 3ds Max, so you reach it from there. Opening it brings up a user interface where you move through the available slots by scrolling with the mouse. There are 20 slots in total, and each can hold a separate copy that you paste later. The catalog entry covers version 1.03, last updated in May 2023. For installation specifics and the current build, check EKDtools' developer page.

Can ECopy copy objects between two 3ds Max instances open at the same time?

ECopy can copy between two 3ds Max instances open at the same time. When you make a copy in one instance, the other shows a preview of it. Alongside that preview, ECopy records a timestamp for each copy and the username of the person who made it. The script keeps 20 slots you scroll through with the mouse, so copies stay available to paste later. For the current build and version details, the catalog entry lists version 1.03, last updated in May 2023.

Does ECopy work across different computers on a network?

ECopy lets you copy and paste objects between computers on the same network, not just within one machine. It also lets you set the copy path to any location, including a network location. Because a project can require collaboration with other people, this makes ECopy useful for shared work. Each stored copy also carries a timestamp, a large centered preview of the object, and the username of whoever made it.

Is ECopy free to use?

ECopy is listed as free here, though the developer distributes it through EKDtools' shop page, where you can confirm the current licensing and terms. The catalog entry covers version 1.03, last updated in May 2023. For the most accurate picture of what is included and any conditions attached, the developer's page is the best place to check, since licensing and availability can change over time. It is a 3ds Max script from EKDtools.
