Surender,

You can only do this if you are copying the elements that the dimensions (measurements) are attached to as well. This is because dimensions are associative meaning they adjust when the elements they are attached to are moved.

Cheers,
Gerald

1.click on the dimension you want to copy
2. on the info box click on the static dimension box
3.copy the now static dimension line
3.go to the story you want to copy the dimension
4.paste the dimension on the original location.

Be aware the dimension will be static- it will not update when the objects they are dimensioning change place or size

Not sure why you are trying to copy dimensions but unlike in AutoCAD the dimensions in ArchiCAD are always linked to their parent objects.

You can use Trace reference to refer your dimensions on the floor plans in different stories. Although this feature will be available only from AC11.
