1Initial value:
Controls how constraints and referenced user parameters are handled when
constrained objects are copied between drawings, Model space and layouts,
and block definitions.
Parameters and their values apply to the current space only. Model space,
individual paper space layouts, and various block definitions in the block
editor cannot access each other's parameters. Several commands, including
PASTECLIP on page 1434 and EXPLODE on page 759, can introduce dimensional
constraints and constraint parameters into an environment where referenced
user parameters are no longer accessible or are in conflict.
The PARAMETERCOPYMODE system variable provides several options for
handling these situations.
Do not copy any dimensional constraints
or constraint parameters. Constraints are
removed from copied objects.
