      <p class="para_division">In NX2, the region associated with each cut level for a face had a unique region number. In the current release, the region number is the same for each cut level of a face, and only the level number is updated. This helps you know whether you are copying a pattern that contains different levels of the same face, or copying between different faces. When copying between different faces, the copied pattern may not be reliable, depending on how different the face region's shapes are. When copying between levels of the same face, the copied pattern should be more reliable since the face region's shapes should be similar between levels.</p>
