This command works only from Patches to Patches and is available via the '''Alt-MMB'''. The source and target patches must have the same matrix dimensions (e.g. you can only paste the coordinates from 5x3 patches to another 5x3 patch). The shape of the target patch stays untouched, it's just the shader coordinates (U/V) that get cloned.

This command works only from Patches to Patches and is available via the Alt-MMB. The source and target patches must have the same matrix dimensions (e.g. you can only paste the coordinates from 5x3 patches to another 5x3 patch). The shape of the target patch stays untouched, it's just the shader coordinates (U/V) that get cloned. See this example:
