# CopyTo PRO
CopyTo PRO is a productivity tool that lets you quickly copy and transfer data between multiple running instances of Autodesk 3ds Max.
Instead of saving temporary files, exporting objects, or merging scenes, CopyTo PRO allows you to move assets with just a few clicks.
Transfer Between 3ds Max Sessions
CopyTo PRO makes it easy to exchange data between multiple open 3ds Max windows.
Supported data includes:
- Objects
- Groups
- Materials
- Layers
- Cameras
- Lights
- Helpers
- Selection sets
Simply copy in one scene and paste into another.
One-Click Workflow
The tool integrates directly into 3ds Max and provides fast access through:
- Toolbar buttons
- Quad Menu
- Keyboard shortcuts
- Context menus
No manual exporting or temporary files are required.
Net Buffer Pool
Licensed users can use Net Buffer Pool, allowing data to be shared across multiple computers on the same network.
This is especially useful for:

Typical use cases include:
- Moving assets between projects
- Reusing scene elements
- Building large scenes from multiple sources
- Preparing production files
- Sharing content with teammates
